  Time Code Generator Issues

  Posted by Nicholas Bierzonski on April 3, 2012 at 1:31 pm

  Hi I am using CS5.

  I wanted to make a window burn of interviews for a client.

  I dropped the timecode filter onto the clip, and it doesn’t show up.

  Even if I change it to generate.

  I tried nesting the entire time line and repeating the process and still nothing.

  I checked to make sure my opacity for the filter was 100 Percent and still nothing.

  This was footage shot with a Panasonic video camera at 720 30P
  It was captured into Final Cut Pro as Pro Res by another editor.

  Now I am working in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5

  Any ideas on what I am missing?

  Are you working on Lion? This issue was fixed in CS5.5 (5.5.2) on Lion (it was Lion specific if that wasn’t clear) but I don’t know if Adobe addressed it in the 5.x series.

  Are you running 5.5.2? (that was the update which fixed the lion-related timecode overlay issue.)

  The other thing we discovered, using a timecode preset that matches our requirements is that it references XY positioning in absolute relation to the original source clip.

  So, say you have 1080p clip with the burn-in running in the upper right hand corner. Then you apply the preset to a 720p clip, it may very well be offscreen.
