printing timecode into .m2v
is there any way to print the time code when using compressor to transcode to .m2v????
scenario: have for old technical videos that need to be put to DVD to be sent off to a “producer”….i need to have the timecodes on the video so that he can write down which portions he wants left in or taken out…this way he can write down the IN & OUT points & then email them to me……..so that i could edit all four videos down to one……..
THANKS.
*and yes i did do a search, but maybe i didn’t use the correct terms.

With compressor, I don’t know. But in final cut you can go to Video Filters->Video->Timecode Generator and add this TCG to a clip (if you need it on an edited sequence, nest the sequence and drop the filter on the nest). Two things… (1) you’ll have to re-render everything unless your boss if fine with getting a low res proof copy simply for the sake of giving you timecode. (2) The TCG assumes that your timeline starts at 00:00:00:00 rather than reading your timeline start time from your timeline settings, so you have to put in the number of hours and frames (don’t forget to factor in DF to your calculation if you’re using it) that the start time is ofset from 00:00:00:00. Then you can encode that to an .m2v
Hope that helps,
