    Posted by John Kabasakalis on June 7, 2010 at 2:07 am

    I’m trying to create a FCP movie file with a timecode starting at hour 2. Here’s what I’m doing.
    I set my in/out and highlight the sequence, I go to Modify/ timecode and set timecode to hour 2. After rendering… it comes back as hour one. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks, John K

    Modify>Timecode changes the timecode on the clip. Is that what you really want to do? Go to sequence settings/timeline options and change the start timecode of the sequence.

    All the best,

    Tom

    Yes… thank you Tom. I figured it out. I was laying out a multiple timelimes with Lumix footage which doesn’t have TC. Everytime I set a new hour it would revert to hour one. I realized that once I set it I needed to go back to browser and activate my change. Once again, thanks. jk
