Is it possible to view the time code of the mts file imported to PP ?
Hi…
I have mts video file recorded with my Panasonic Handycam.
From the MediaInfo, I can see that the mts has video streams, audio streams and text streams which is the PGSI can play the file with Media Player Classic – and if in MPC I click the “subtitle” option and choose “PGS”, the video show it’s date and time of the recording.
I want to have Premiere to also display that date and time all the time, hoping that when I export it to mp4 file, the time code will show in the video as a “burn in” subtitle.
I wonder if I can do this in Premiere ?
If yes, can someone please help me on how to do it ?Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advanced, and I’m sorry for my broken English. -

The timecode needs to be a timecode track for it to show up. Basic consumer cameras do not write a timecode track but there are programs that can write the time of day information as a timecode. I believe EditReady has that function.

Does anyone have experience with embedding a timecode into .MTS files? I am working on a documentary where I have been given a bunch of .MTS files that need to be sent to a translator for transcriptions. The problem is there is no metadata on these clips (I think because they were not properly copied off the SD card, and were taken out of the “Private” folder and renamed). So now I have a bunch of .MTS clips that do not have source timecode. When I select “source timecode” in Premiere or AME, the clips timecode shows up as starting at 00. This will not help me when editing if I have hundreds of clips that all have the same source timecode. Any thoughts?
