FCP Export to QT no timecode?
Today, I tried exporting a self-contained quicktime – NTSC SD Apple Prores HQ and there is no timecode! It is a timecode-less QT from a sequence loaded into the timeline. I have been exporting successfully now for months with the same configuration and no recent updates in hardware or software that would prompt this. Every QT up to this point has had master sequence TC when I have exported.
Is there a ‘do not include timecode’ option that I am unaware of?
I think it may be a corrupt sequence, because I can export a smaller section of the sequence and it contains timecode, its only when I export the whole 30min show that it exhibits this problem.
Anyone seen this?
8-core intel

Export with Quicktime Conversion does not carry timecode.
Export Quicktime (same as sequence setting) does.
Drop your Pro Res Quicktime into an empty ProRes sequence that has the same start timecode and export Quicktime.

Hi Jason,
You don’t get TC from FC when you export through QT Conversion.
Exporting QT Movie you should always get it.

Thanks. I am not exporting with conversion. I am exporting a plain ole Quicktime Export with current settings which happen to be Prores HQ from the stock loaded sequence preset. I have just trashed prefs and tried again no luck.
What am I missing here? Sequence start time is set to 59;00;02 DF just like countless others and now a second project is doing the same.I guess its reinstall FCP time… argh
anyone else?thanks

Hi Jason,
– Open any of the files with QT.
– Com-J to open the movie Properties.
Don’t you find Audio Track, TC Track and Video Track?

Ok. So here’s the latest. I have just reinstalled Final Cut Pro. Ran the update to 6.0.5. Attempted to export from a Prores Timeline (completely different project and sequence than tried before) and once again I am getting quicktimes with no timecode. I open them in Quicktime and instead of starting at 59;55;00 it starts at 00;00;00;00. When opened in Quicktime player there isnt even a timecode track.
It seems to be something with this box. I have just went across the hall to another machine on the same Fibre network and successfully exported with timecode from a project that wouldn’t export properly on my machine. ARGH~
Any ideas out there? thanks

No idea Jason.
Is the first time that I come across with this issue.

Thanks Rafael. I am starting to think I need to reinstall Quicktime, perhaps a bad export component… Just not sure how to reinstall QT pro… any ideas?
thanks

When you export your QuickTime file, if the name of your file long? Longer than, say 10 characters?
I experience no time code when I name the file that i am exporting long. One of the characteristics is if my output file has something like: testclip#56.mov, where my original file name would be:
testclip_4x3_133_SD525_EN20.movWhat i usually do is just give my file a VERY short name for the actual export and rename it to whatever I want once it is completed.
Maybe this is your problem?

Just reinstall the same QT version that you have right now.
QT Pro is just a key to activate some of the features.

Do you have the Show TC in the QT preferences? Also do you have the sequence TC to match the source TC in your timeline? If not then it will only export the TC from our Timeline and not from the clips in your sequence.
