  • Avid Export to QT preserving Time Code

    Posted by Charles Johnson on October 1, 2008 at 12:37 pm

    We are using Avid MediaComposer and would like to export to a Quicktime file and preserve the original time code within QuickTime.
    (not burned to the image – an actual TC track.
    Is this possible? are there additional software tools to complete the process?

    When Avid exports (or imports) a Quicktime it strips the timecode. However, with Quicktime Pro I believe you can add a timecode track, so you may be able to manually input the timecode after export.

    I’ve never tried it so I can’t tell you for sure it will or won’t work, but it would be worth trying.

    Michael.
