  Timecode position changing after export

  Posted by Thomas Ryan on April 3, 2018 at 1:30 pm

  While reading this, please keep in mind I’m relatively new to Premiere Pro, so I might need some extra help ☺

  So basically, I was editing a video, and wanted to add a timecode for humerous effect. I added a transparent video, added a timecode to the top of it, added a crop to the timecode, cropped it, and moved it into position. It was also set to:

  Fortmat: SMPTE
  Timecode Source: Clip
  Time Display: 24

  After that, I nested the transparent video (with the timecode on it) with the video clip and audio clip so I could speed it up, because it is sped up, to 300%, mind you.

  Anyway, so I have 2 images as well. The first is what it looked like in the editor:
  12317_inpremierepro.png.zip

  And this one is what it looks like after export:
  12318_exported.png.zip

  That’s the problem. I have no clue as to why that happened and I need help. Also, here are my export settings, just in case:

  =-VIDEO-=
  Format: H.264
  Preset: High Quality 1080p HD
  Size: 1920 x 1080
  Frame Rate: 59.94
  Aspect: Square Pixel 1.0
  TV Standard: NTSC
  Profile: High
  Level: 5.1
  UNCHECK RENDER AT MAXIMUM DEPTH
  Bitrate: VBR, 2 pass
  -Target Bitrate: 12
  -Maximum Bitrate: 30
  UNCHECK PREVIEWS
  UNCHECK FRAME BLENDING

  =-AUDIO-=
  Codec: AAC
  Sample Rate: 41000Hz
  Channels: 5.1
  Audio Quality: High
  Bitrate: 512
  Procedure: Bitrate

  So any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  First things first, what version of premiere are you working in?

  Without seeing your project the best I can do is give you some suggestions for a solution which may or may not work.

  If this is just one long continuous video, it looks like live capture game play, and not multiple clips you might want to just export the entire video at real time with the timecode baked in without nesting it. Then pull that export into your project and speed up the sections where you’d like.

  Alternatively, have you tried not nesting the timecode to the video and speeding each one up individually with the same settings?

  Nesting certain things like text layers, and it appears timecode, can cause some bugs and issues. This type of nesting is generally better done in After Effects since that is more of a graphics based system rather than Premier which is an NLE.
