Proofing with time code burned in
I read somewhere in the past where a COW member always exported with the time code burned into the comp until final approval and the remaining invoice was paid BEFORE they delivered the final project. I can’t find that previous comment.
I’ve always used burning in our logo but is a lot more hassle and work.
I think the time code idea is a very good one but I can’t figure out how to do it.
Advice?

Hi Martin,
TC or logo is a bit the same, in both cases you must render your whole movie.
if you give your sample movie in a DVD you can also burn the TC in while compressing the MPEG-2. With Compressor.

Like Raphael said, TC and logo serve the same purpose. The advantage to TC is if they have changes, they can reference the timecode so you don’t have to go hunting.
To burn TC from Final Cut, drop a slug or color matte over the entire length of the sequence, in the top most layer. Make sure it is one clip (you can key in the sequence length in the viewer to override the default 2 minute clip). Once the slug/matte is on the timeline, go to effects->filters->video, and use either the Timecode Generator or Reader…they’ll both accomplish the same things, with different options. Crop the size of the slug/matte in the motion tab, and render for output.
