  • How do you remove TC from a .mov file

    Posted by Shawn Bossick on June 5, 2013 at 6:27 am

    Hello all!

    I received a .mov file from a client I’ve never worked with before. when I import it into Vegas 12 there’s a time-code visible on the file. How do you remove this visual time-code ? Is there a way ? I know he edited the piece in Avid.

    Thanks to all who answered!

    Hmm…

    1] Do you know if he applied T/C when it was filmed? OR is it a “featured” added in AVID?

    2] If it is baked-in to the video you can’t remove it. Sometimes blurring the T/C can be an option or doubling the video tracks and with the judicious use of Track Motion to Cookie Cut an area OVER the offending T/C.

    Need more info from you?

    Cheers

    If its rendered in the file from Avid, You cant remove it.
    If its not, then you can first try to remove it by using
    Vegas’s “Remove Timecode from all Media” script.

    Hello Steve! Where do you get the script ?
    If you have a link to the script Steve I’d be very grateful for that!

    Graham, I’m sure he added it within Avid.

    Thanks guys for answering!!
    Shawn.

    The script is available right there in Vegas, just go to
    Tools, Scripting and you will see it in the drop down list.
