Viewing source timecode in sequence

Could some kind person please remind me whether it is feasible to view the timecode of the source footage once it has been inserted into a sequence.
I am having to the re-lay sync audio in the timeline, and it would help if, when on a clip's in point on the the timeline, I knew exactly where it was on the source footage.
I'm sure I've done this in the past.
Age!

The Info panel will display the source timecode of every clip in all tracks that fall under the CTI (now playhead).

Finding source timecode in sequence

I'm trying out CS6 coming from a Avid background. (My issue with CS 6 is a
I edited a 40 minute location shot into a sequence, now I need to insert graphics into the sequence based on timecode from the original source clip.
-I do see the "sequence" TC displayed but I really need to see the source TC so that I can input the TC number that I need to go to.
Any suggestions for a work-around

I agree. We need source TC overlays for Source and Record Monitors. Please make a feature request: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
In the mean time, you can use the Timecode window. Choose Window > Timecode and select the video track you want in the Panel menu. That will show you Source TC in the sequence.

Quicktime- Match Source Timecode

Hi,
Im getting transcripts of footage that I shot and digitized into Final Cut Pro HD. My transcriptor only has a PC so I copied all the quicktime media files onto a PC-compatible hard drive, but I just realized when opening the quicktime files on the PC that the timecode for each media file begins at zero as opposed to the timecode originally on the source tape. Before, when I had a few transcripts done, I would add the clip to my FCP timeline, lay Timecode effect over it, render, export as an mpeg1 with compressor, then burn the mpeg1 file to dvd. This was a time-consuming process that I dont want to go through again. Now I have dozens of hours of footage Im getting transcripted, so I need a simple and quick way to have quicktime files with matching source timecode.
My questions are:
1. Is source timecode written onto the quicktime file itself, or embedded within FCP files?
2. Is there an option/preference in quicktime to view source timecode?
3. What other simple solutions are there to have quicktime files with matching source timecode?
Thanks,
Alexander

1) Source timecode is stored in the Quicktime file as a track. FCP project file then references it.
2) Yes/No. There are ways of displaying the timecode external to FCP. The excellent Sebsky Tools (free) and also an old Quicktime app from Apple that switches the display flag for the timecode. However, you have to re-export the whole movie to get one with the time code displayed.
3)Don't really understand this. Sorry. Do you mean you want to export from FCP Quicktime files that reference the original timecode? You can do this, but it depends how you do it.
Say if you put a captured clip in a sequence and you export the Sequence then it will have new timecode starting from 00. Since the timecode reflects the sequence itself.
If you trim the clip and right click on the clip itself and export then it will have the timecode of the original captured media starting and ending from the trim points. I.e. not 00.
You can't have a sequence containing multiple trimmed captured media to have timecode reflecting the original media. The timecode would have to jump all over the place. The only way you can do it is burn it in.
If you already know all of this I apologise. Like I said I didn't really understand what you were getting at.

Since the upgrade to FF 5 on OSX 10.6.8 I have no 'Downloads' window and no 'View Source' window.

Firefox appears to function normally except for the 'Downloads' window and 'View Source' window not being accessible. However, when selected they appear as being active in the 'Windows' menu but cannot be seen on screen.

Hi,
I have been through the entire sequence at -

But still have the same issues. No windows for Downloads or View Source.

Source timecode

I am having a problem making the source timecode show up in Premiere Pro CC 2014? Not sure what I need to do?

Can you describe what you want to do?
Are you looking for it in the Project Pane, or want to display it in the Viewer, etc.?

Source Timecode in canvas

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas why I cannot see the clip's source timecode in the canvas. The timecode spot in the top right hand corner shows the main timeline timecode. When I right click on the box and choose source timecode, nothing changes, even when I select the other option clip time. I get the source clip timecode in an overlay, but I wanted to see it in the canvas timecode spot.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help!

thanks for the reply...
I was wanting to type in the timecode in the canvas of the source clip to match it up with the close-up camera timecode. I can do it the other way around, by using overlays and typing in the source timecode in the viewer, but it would make things easier to also be able to do it the other way around.

Quicktime Pro- Source Timecode

I was told that with Quicktime Pro you can view the original source timecode of footage originally captured in Final Cut Pro. Can someone take me step by step as I was given these instructions:
"This works with QT 6.5 PRO on a mac or PC. Open the QT file. Get movie properties. Select the video track from the left drop down and time code from the right drop down. You will see off-tape time displayed."
I tried following these instructions step by step but do not see any "off-tape time" display. I am also unclear what the "left drop down" and "right drop down" are? I've tried these steps with both a mac and pc but it doesn't seem intuitive. I would apppreciate if anyone could give a detailed response.
Thanks,
Alexander

Open the captured QuickTime movie in QuickTime Player Pro 6.5. Press Command-J (Mac) or Control-J (Windows). Watch this movie for the next steps...
http://www.automaticduck.com/screenshots/Windows65.avi
or if you don't have the codec for the AVI watch this MOV...
http://www.automaticduck.com/screenshots/Windows65.mov
As you scrub through or play the movie the window updates with the timecode.
BTW, I tried this in QuickTime 7 (Mac) and I could not figure out how to display the timecode.

Final Cut Express not showing clip's source timecode

When I capture a clip and put it in the viewer the timecode window only reads the clip timecode (it always starts at zero then goes till the duration of the clip) even if I change the setting to show source timecode it stays the same. Odd because I can batch digitize offline clips perfectly. It just won't show me the clip's source timecode. Very fustrating. How do I fix this?

FCE does not read the tape timecode - you need FCP for that.
However, Piero has made a nice FREE filter that will do the job:-

CS5 Premiere: Timecode Help Needed: Needing to transcribe using source timecode

Is there a way to change the timecode overall for all of the imported clips in Premiere to reveal the source timecode after importing footage from an external hard drive? Each of the imported clips continue to start at 0, even after selecting 'Use Media Source' from Preferences_Media. I am transcribing a few hours of footage and need to have it continually showing the timecode from the source instead of starting at 0 for each clip. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Each of the imported clips continue to start at 0, even after selecting 'Use Media Source' from Preferences_Media.
If you load a single clip into the Source Monitor, it should show you the media timecode. That won't happen by default in a Sequence or in the Program Monitor. To see source media timecode in the timeline, you'll need to add the Timecode effect to all of the clips in your sequence. It defaults to the timecode from the source media, so the effect's timecode display should update as you go from clip to clip in the timeline. The overall sequence timecode will still start at zero (or whatever starting timecode you designate).
Cheers,
Jeff

How can I edit an html file in Firefox using View Source?

I have created an html webpage and saved it to my pc. I can't edit the html file in firefox when I right click on the page and select "View Source". I can view the code but I can't edit it. I can do this in IE9.
I thought I was able to do this before in Firefox.
Did my settings change somewhere that I can no longer do this?
Do I have to have something checked in the Web Developer extensions for it to work?
I'm using Firefox 24.0
Thank you for any help with this. :)

The View Source window in Firefox cannot be used to change computer codes. Nor can the Web Developer tools.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
I suggest using Programmer's Notepad.

HTML code displays on one line in browser view source

Hi,
In Dreamweaver, my HTML code displays returns, spaces, etc. However, in the view source option in a browser (Firefox in particular), all the code is displayed on one single line. I only found about this because I was having problems with my Google Ads not displaying. (A Google customer service person helped me to find a workaround for this since I still haven't figured how to get my code to display correctly.) So I have gone to Preferences in DW and changed my Code Format Line Break type. The result is the same with each of the three options: the code is all on one line when you check it under view source in a browser. (The server is Linux.)
Does anyone know how to fix this? Also, I think I know how this happened in the first place. I copied my code to TextEdit for a quick backup the other day, and then I pasted it back to DW. Bad idea? Is the only way to get the code back to normal to re-write it in a new HTML file in DW?

Pssh. Problem solved, but I'm not quite sure how. I did go back and try to clean up some redundant CSS and other things, but the HTML/CSS validator still shows that I have this one invalid <header> tag (www.nextmontenegro.com), but since that was written as part of the DW template, I just left it. Weird. Anyway, the code flows down the page now.
Thanks for the quick replies and helpful hints:-)

What happened to my View Source menu item?

I'm pretty sure that I used to be able to view the coded contents of web pages in the past. I just tried to do this with a web page and my "View Source" selection item under the "View" menu is gone.
Am I mistaken that Firefox used to have this feature? I have used Firefox, exclusively, for about the last 3 to 4 years, now; haven't used IE in quite a while.
Maybe with my latest FF upgrade, that feature was deleted in the upgrade.

Thanks. Glad to find more than ONE solution (I code "no right click" on most of the web pages I do). Tools / Web developer / Page Source works for me!

Safari 5.1.7 to 6.0.1 (Missing "view source")

Safari 5.1.7 you can "view source". In Safari 6.0 this appears to have disappeared. Is it anywhere else, or has it really gone?.

"View source" is not available in Safari 6.
But "Show Page Source" is available.
Safari > Preferences > Advanced
Enable "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
Develop menu > Show Page Source

Is there a way to view the timecode in iMovie for Mac?

Is there a way to view the timecode in iMovie for Mac? This is such a basic feature needed for editing; I can't believe it wouldn't be available. Am I missing something?

Do the math means you know the timecode at the beginning of each clip and when you mouse over a transition or clip you know the clip length. If you trim the clip you see how much you are trimming. With these numbers you can caulate the cursor position or find the timecode value at any frame in the clip. I am not saying it is an elegant process by any means, but if you really need to, this will work. Obviously it is a grievius situation Apple has left us in regarding timecode.

How can I turn off word wrap in the View Source output?

I'm trying to extract HTML from Word and one way to do that is to save the Word file as a .htm file and then View Source in a browser and copy that. But the words are wrapped in the View Source file. I want each paragraph to be all on one line. Is there a setting for the View Source feature that will turn off word wrap?
Once I have that done and copied into a plain text editor, I will use Search>Replace to get rid of all the stuff Word puts there and just end up with the simple paragraph tags at the end of each paragraph, all on one line.

You can disable wrapping and syntax highlighting in the View menu in the Edit > View Source window.
