Is there a way to apply the time code filter to an entire bin of timelines?
The title of this post pretty much says it all. I want to apply a time code burn filter to a bunch of timelines so I can do a batch low res export for the client to see the clips and make selections. Anyone know how to apply filters to multiple timelines at a time?
Thanks again for all the help, now and in the future!

only to multiple clips in a timeline.
either make a favourite fx from your prefered TC reader setting and select all clips and then choose this favourite
or
apply to the first clips, copy, select all other clips and paste attributes – filter only
if you done this on the first seq you only have to load the other seq’s and select all – paste attributes – filter only -
Use Compressor, not FCP for this. It has a time code filter and batch processing capabilities.
If you must use FCP, you would have to nest all the sequences one by one, then apply the tc reader filter and then you can render them all by selecting them all and typing option + R as well.
Good luck.

Good to know Kevin. Thanks.

Kevin’s suggestion is perhaps simplest — to use Compressor;
otherwise you could nest each one inside another sequence and apply the TCG filter to them one by one. Then you could batch export the containing sequences. This is a bit of handwork, but if you keep the containing sequences (let’s call them “Export Sequences”) around, you can always use them with the Batch Export tool to run export of the latest versions.Lu Nelson

How exactly are you exporting? Recent versions of QuickTime will display timecode in the player and there is no need for a TC overlay covering some of the picture.
All the best,
