Burnt-in timecode (BITC) generator effect (that simulates pro VTR)?
Posted by Rick Anvican on July 31, 2014 at 5:52 amHi all,
I’m aware that Sony Vegas can apply timecode to events via a built-in effect, but I’m after burnt-in timecode with the appearance of a professional VTR’s timecode display, i.e.
==================================
TCR xx:xx:xx:xx
PLAY LOCK
==================================
I know at least Final Cut has a labeling feature but I’m using Windows. Thanks in advance,RickAVC

That would be what I need, probably with a filled black box and
some font customization, would this be done through scripting?
Thanks,RickAVC

2] I can make font changes to everything EXCEPT the T/C. The T/C FX is set. However, the T/C can be widened or squashed.
3] Where do you want the BLACK BOX?

July 31, 2014 at 11:13 amPlacing the black box just under the text would be fine,
as in this sample: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnt-in_timecode)I actually have Adobe Media Encoder installed and realized it can burn in timecode, but I
couldn’t get it to run (I have After Effects activated but Encoder says it’s not activated).
Thanks,RickAVC

July 31, 2014 at 2:24 pmVegasaur has TextGen that can do it (Timecode counter with custom BEFORE/AFTER text). Font, size, position, color, and other properties can be customized via text presets. Black background can be created with Solid Color generator.
