  • Adding arbitrary timecode to phone/drone footage

    Posted by Charis Hoo on March 24, 2020 at 9:42 pm

    I’m having to process alot of phone and drone footage lately without any timecode on the clips; they all start at 00:00:00:00. This creates a problem with my company’s workflow since our media management system renames the files, and it makes locating media via Media Start in Premiere difficult later. I tried throwing all my footage onto a single timeline, and exporting via Program Manager, but Premiere will only look at each clip individually this way and ignores the fact that the clips are on a timeline. Manually exporting each clip by in-outs works, but is cumbersome and slow.

    Does anyone else know of a solution in Premiere that is batched which pays attention to the location of each clip on the timeline? Or is there a feature in FFMPEG that can facilitate this?

    Of course you can script FFmpeg, but there is still QTchange, everyone uses it.
    (Well, I’ve sold over 3000 copies…)
    Note, QTchange will NOT run under Catalina, but any half decent old PC / mac will be good enough for rock ‘n roll, since it’s just changing a few bytes on each file.
