  timecode reading in after effects

  Posted by Tristan Summers on September 17, 2009 at 4:51 pm

  Would be a ridiculous thing to be able to read timecode information in after effects?
  Seems odd that a compositing application would not have this fairly basic and useful ability.

  there is a script that can get the timecode from the footage. i’ve never used it, it is a command line utility and i think it only works on osx, but you can find it here:
