how to display “real” timecode
Is there a way to display actual timecode overtop the video. Basically the same as if you captured the video through the super channel.
The timecode effect that comes with vegas only seems to want to start at 00:00:00 and ignores the timeline time if you switch the first frame of your project to something other then o. -

Try adding the timecode effect to that clip in the MEDIA POOL (or Project Media).

when i do this, it is close, but is off by a few seconds. I’ve tried drop and non drop.

There’s a script built into Vegas that will turn on TC for all media. Go under “Tools/scripting” to find it. There is one to turn it on and off. This uses the original TC in the clip. If the TC is off, then it was not properly set when captured. When you capture, you have to specify if the TC is drop or non-drop frame. (Most DV camcorders default to DF, and Vegas will default to DF unless you specify otherwise).
