Timecode reader to reveal sequence time

When i use the timecode reader filter in FCP, it only gives me the clip time and not the sequence time when I embed it on screen?
How can show the Sequence timecode in the reader window?
Thanks

I'm in a mood so allow me to expand on DH's post.
The reader filter looks for the timecode that already exists on the clips and displays it.
The timecode generator replaces or overrides or overwrites (you pick which concept you like) the existing timecode with new code and displays it.

  • Timecode Reader Not Matching

    I've been having drift problems with the timecode reader in FCP 7. The timecode reader matches the timecode throughout the entire sequence in FCP, yet in the Quicktime ProRes file I export the burned-in timecode slowly drifts throughout the entire video. By the end of the video, the quicktime player says it's 3 seconds ahead compared to the burned-in timecode.
    The original footage is 23.98, as is the sequence, and the output file. I've tried the timecode generator, which does the same thing as well. Any ideas?

    I'm betting your show is around 60 minutes long? 3.5 seconds is about the difference between non-drop time code (which 23.98 is) and real time (drop frame), which I believe QT player displays.

  • Problems with Timecode Reader?

    I can seem to get The Timecode Reader Filter to see that my sequence starts at hour 2 and not hour 1. I can't seem to change the numbers either. Anyone know a trick for this?

    that because the reader "reads" the clip timecode rather than sequence timecode.
    you want the timecode generator filter and apply the correct hour offset in the filter settings.

  • Timecode reader for audio files?

    We've just conducted some interviews which we now need to have transcoded and translated for subtitling.
    Rather than burn a DVD with a burnt in visual timecode, we thought we'd save some time by uploading just the audio file to the web - is there any way a timecode can be embedded in the audio file so the translation matches perfectly?
    Uploading a video file with a visual timecode would result in a huge file size.

    This really depends on what the transcriber can deal with.
    Some quicktime files and the most recent quicktime player can display the timecode track down in the lower left corner of the player (where you normally see a counter).
    The other possibility is to output the timecode to a second audio channel and then the transcriber would need a timecode reader to take that info off of the audio channel. All in all much more hassle then the first option.
    As far as not wanting to create video files for upload keep in mind that in doing a window burn the image quality doesn't need to be great or large. You just need the timecode to be readable.

  • Timecode reader filter

    i generally use the timecode reader filter to make window dubs of a sequence, and the timecode displayed is the sequence timecode. that's fine ... now i have client needing a window dub with the source timecode displayed, specifically of the audio tracks, as opposed to the more usual (at least to me) sequence timecode. anyway to do it. thanks. i guess i can always supply an edl ...

    that's cause you can't see audio, thus burn in doesn't work on audio.
    nesting is a bad habit to get into. if you ever need to export an edl it will see the nest as a single event. It also makes it confusing when you have changes to your piece.
    If you are exporting for an audio workstation automatic duck will export an OMF for you, however it does have a 2 gig file limit (omf does). some newer workstations such as DP6 will exchange xml with FCP

  • Help with "Timecode Reader" generator - several seconds off

    I'm trying to use the Timecode Reader generator to burn in the timecode for a clip but the time it shows is several seconds different than the actual timecode of the clip.
    I create a Compound Clip from the clip in question and then add the Timecode Reader from the Apple Generators but the readout the generator shows is several seconds different than the timecode that is show when I hover over the clip.

    Closin' out.

  • Reveal (Sequence) in Project command?

    Reveal (Sequence) in Project command? or equivalent.

    If you know the name of the sequence, just type it into the search tool. If you didn't rename it, then just type "seq" in there. Yeah, it's not as good as having a "reveal sequence in project", but ultimately, it's gonna reveal the sequence in the project.

  • Can Yosemite read a snow leopard Time Machine backup

    Can Yosemite read a snow leopard Time Machine backup. Once I installed Lion over SL and it was a disaster since I could not get any docs or photos back, so had to put SL back on my old iMac.
    Will 10.10 give the same problem or is there a way to migrate the old 10.6.8 data to 10.10?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can do that. The only limitation is that you can't encrypt the backup volume.

  • Can I have more than one version of adobe reader at the same time?

    can I have more than one version of adobe reader at the same time?

    If I may add a qualification: on a device running full Windows 8, you may have both Adobe Reader Touch and Adobe Reader (normal desktop edition). This does not apply to the primitive devices which cannot run desktop apps (running "Windows RT"), and while I may be wrong, I believe that the Surface 2 is such a device.

  • The new version of firefox does not shut down when I close the browser it continues running in the background. In addition it opens Adobe Reader for a brief time and then that closes. Everything worked fine before this new version.

    Firefox automatically loaded a new version recently. The new version does not shut down when I close the browser it continues running in the background. In addition it opens Adobe Reader for a brief time and then that closes. Everything worked fine before this new version.

  • Read data in real time and save as an excel file

    Hi,
    I want to write a LabVIEW progarmme which able to read data in real time and save it as an excel file from Varian Vacuum muli-gauge.
    It is using RS232 port.
    Can anyone give me some examples or point me in the right direction?
    I am a beginner of LabVIEW. Hope anyone can help me.
    Thank you very much!!
    Joanne

    Thanks for your reply.
    I just use MAX to verify that the rs232 port is operational.
    However, there is an error (please refer to the attachment).
    One possible reason is in MAX I am trying to do the default command *idn? ...but it doesn't work.
    I read the vacuum multi-gauge manual but I don't know which command should I use...
    I attached the manual and can you tell me which command should I use?
    Or can you tell me other possible reason for this error code?
    Thank you very much.

  • Mapping with Scd operator set to type 2 reading source records two times

    Mapping with Scd operator set to type 2 reading source records two times.Records selected count being displayed at the end of execution is double the source record count.This possibly is affecting the performance of the mapping.
    Is this a bug in scd type 2 operagtor in OWB 11gR2.How to rectify this umwamted double loop through the source data selectiom?

    Hi Roelant,
    I think it is important to be aware that although Paris - 10gR2 - is not actually buggy (in this respect!), it is really quite idiosyncratic in exactly how it processes SCDs.
    I followed up on your and Mark's comments, and did an in depth analysis of this topic. It is at http://www.donnapkelly.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/documents/OWB_10gR2_SCD.pdf
    My conclusions are perhaps of interest to anyone considering doing SCD processing with Paris.
    I'll be doing a follow-up this weekend, and publishing a sort of 'how-to-do-it' guide.
    Cheers,
    Donna

  • Gif - file help: i don't want to read the gif each time from the file.....

    Hello there guys,
    i'm making a game and therefor i need to read a gif file like 20 times.
    i don't want my program to read the gif each time from the file, but only once.
    so i load it into an image or something?
    cuz opening the gif 20 times from my hard disk is a lot of time loss....
    opening it once and store it is much more efficient
    thx in advance
    plz help me out, cuz i don't really know how to do it.
    (in Delphi it's easy, but Java......)
    greetz,

    Ramon Ribbe

    yes, it works, i used this code, thx man
    void button1_ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent event)
              ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("f:/a.gif");          
              JLabel label = new JLabel();          
              label.setIcon(image);                    
              this.getContentPane().add(label);
              label.setBounds(10,10,100,100);
    and there i see my image :-)
    but 1 more thing, should i display all those blocks (images) on an applet, or should i use something else? (like what??)
    a sort of frame?
    because later on i have the field where all the blocks are in, and i have an area surrounding it, displaying all kinda information about the game, like how many lives remaining....
    can i put 2 applets in eachother? like applet1 is the parent of applet2?
    or should i use something else?
    plz help me, cuz java is kinda new to me i see....
    in delphi i just used 2 forms, form 1 with the blocks, form2 with the rest of info, and also being the parent of form1
    thx again, soon i can help ya guys too, i hope..
    (im learning java at school, but way too slow and to ez)

  • How to read the date and time information of a file by labview

    how to read the date and time information of a file by labview? for example, created time and modified time.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    if you need to know the last modification date of file:-
    "Functions->File I/O->Advanced File Functions->File/Directory Info.vi"
    This vi returns the value of file's last modification date. This is returned as U32 number. To see it in MM/DD/YY format you must create the indicator, right-click on it and select "Format & Precision" item from drop-down menu. Then select "Time and Date" format there.
    Thanks as kudos only

  • How to read out message cycle time from Vector CANdb file?

    Hello LabVIEW friends,
    I tried to open a Vector CAN Database (*.dbc) using the NI-CAN 2.3.2 Channel API and read out the cycle time of a message.
    The CAN get property.vi should provide the sample rate which is described as followed:
    Input parameter of the CAN Init Start function.
    The sample rate specifies
    whether to transfer data in a periodic or event-driven manner.
    For periodic
    behavior, the rate specifies the number of read/write samples to perform per
    second.
    But for all messages in my database I get the value 0.
    When I connect a sample rate to the CAN Initialize.vi I will get it's value.
    Could anybody help?
    Thank You.
    Greets,
    Marcus

    Hi,
    unfortunately there is no way to use the cycle time property from your DBC file, because the NI driver is not able to read this information.
    This is because the cycletime is stored in different places for different users and only Vector itself can read this information back.
    In your case, you have to figure out this information by yourself and you can use the sample rate input of the init or initstart function to configure the cycle time in Hz.
    If you need different cycle times for different messages, see the attached example.
