How do I get Burned in Time Code Window
It’s been a little while since I’ve done this on Avid and I need a reminder.
I’m working on a feature length documentary and I need to send out hours of interview strings for transcription.
What I plan on doing is watching the interviews and putting a sequence together of all the good parts of the interview . . . . . that way I can skip the directors questions, or mis-speaks and so a 1 hour interview might be 40 minutes . . . . this will save money in transcription (since there are many hours of footage on this thing)
I’ll export the sequences I make as a Quicktimes and send those to a transcription house.
I’d like my sequence, and the Quicktime I export to have the Time Code window from the raw footage burned in to the video.
Can someone remind me how to do this??? -

There is a TC effect in the effects menu – I think. As I recall, it takes forever to render.
There was also a real time TC FX floating around the web a couple of years back.
A quick google search found this:

If you have Media Composer 3.x or higher you have a realtime timecode effect. Granted, if you export your sequence to send quicktime files or even a quicktime reference, it will be rendered when you export. I think the render is a lot faster, though, than the old timecode effect.

I always just turn super on on my deck and lay off burn ins externally when needed. With QTs and wmv files, they can just read the numerical markers provided.
