  Source Timecode Effect For Client

  Posted by Alvin Lowery on November 6, 2012 at 3:14 pm

  Is there a way to get the souce timecode of a clip to be overlayed so that I can make a DVD so the client can see it. I saw where you can do it from the timeline, but I would like to do it from the original source clip. I’m working in Adobe Premiere CS5.

  Timecode Effect > Select Timecode Source as “Media” – this shows a clips timecode within the edit of the timeline rather than the timeline’s timecode.

  If you want to “batch” original clips then I suggest looking at the following if you have After Effects (not tested with CS5):
