Adding timecode to footage that doesn’t have time code.
Asked this over at the main forum, and no one replied.
I’ve got a (non-paying) project where the original DV tapes don’t have timecode. I’d like to add hidden timecode to the digital files on my computer (that can be called up with a burn window), save that as the new source footage, hand a disk off with timecode burned in, and hand them off to my volunteer assistant for logging.
I have no idea how to do this with Vegas Pro 9.
The process in my mind:
1. Load all files on each tape into Vegas Pro
2. Add hidden timecode.
3. Save new file with the hidden timecode as the new source footage (as “RC09_T1_Timecode” for example).
4. Display a timecode window in the video.
5. Save another version (as “RC09_T1_burnedTimecode” for example)
6. Burn the file to DVD for my assistant to log.Any help would be appreciated, including a pointer to an existing thread about this, where there is no existing timecode in the source material. Thanks in advance.

Tools -> Scripting -> Add Timecode to Media
That should do it for you.

How do you get rid of that timecode once you put it in?
