  Timecode – can I advance the hour number?

  Posted by Andy Javs on November 7, 2005 at 1:50 pm

  Hi,
  I want to burn-in a timecode reference but with the hours starting at 05:00:00:00.
  I can’t see how to set this with AE timecode plug-in.
  Any help appreciated, many thanks.

  What are the “time units” set to?

  If it were set to 30 you’d set the “starting frame” to 540000 to get 5 hours.

  So start there and adjust accordingly.

  thanks for response wes.
  I can’t get it to go over ‘100000’. If I type a higher number it just defaults to ‘100000’.
  Any more clues??

  You’re using AE version…?

  V6, I think. Not sure if it’s Pro or basic. Not with computer at the moment.
  To work around I just put a text layer with a number 5 over the top of the zero. Clunky but it works!
  So should I be able to increase the hours to whatever number I want by increasing the frame number?

  I would have suggested something very much like that. I have 6.5 here, maybe that improved the timecode plug-in since the version you have.
