  Output Time Code Question

  Posted by Dale Spetz on December 10, 2012 at 7:54 pm

  I am a bit confused with rendering out a time code. I understand how to reset the time code ruler within SVP to compensate for a colorbars/slate/count leader——resetting the program start time to 01:00:00;00. But, I am unable to read this reset time code in the rendered output DNxHD file (the final product). Is there another step required for rendering out this reset time code? Or is SVP or the Quicktime Player (non-pro) just not reading it?

  I have since read on this forum of Vegas (at least, pre 11) having an inability to read time code from Quicktime files. Is it probable that my Vegas created DNxHD file does contain my revised time code, but I am simply not able to see it with Vegas?

  I have also been unable to read it with my SVP-12.

  Using my same project settings and rendering out a Sony MXF file, I see that the time code is retained in the newly created rendered MXF file. Yet, using the same settings, but rendering out to a DNxHD file, the newly created MOV file appears to begin at 00:00:00;00 again.

  Does anyone know if the revised time code is really transferred into the newly created DNxHD file, but Vegas is just unable to read it? Or, will Vegas simply not render out a time code through DNxHD?

  I imagine that Quicktime Pro would tell me, but I would rather not purchase it.
