Quicktime 10 – no FCP timecode??
Hi everyone,
I have a question that seems incredibly obvious and I feel almost silly posting, yet I can’t seem to find the answer to it anywhere.
I’ve upgraded to Snow Leopard and when I use Quicktime 10 to look at clips captured in FCP, I can’t seem to get it to match with FCP’s timecodes. On older versions of Quicktime all I had to do was click on the time on the QT viewer and it would allow me to see the timecode corresponding to FCP’s, but now I have no options other than elapsed time and remaining time.
Has anyone found a way to work around this? I’m in the middle of doing some logging and transcribing and it’s driving me crazy!!
Thanks a lot!

isn’t that a preference you have to turn on?

Gabriella,
Revert back to QT 7 for this. If QT 7 is not located in your Utilities folder, re-install it.
I created a few Services that are relative to video files – one for QT 10 and a second for QT 7. The Services allow me to open a QT movie in either version right from within the Finder.

On previous versions of quicktime you just had to click on the time elapsed, but on quicktime 10 I can’t seem to find any preferences or any way to allow me to enable this feature.

You have to use and install QT7 which is in the Utilities folder.

Thanks everyone for your responses.
Quicktime 7 doesn’t seem to be in my Utilities folder. I’ve tried downloading Quicktime 7 but my computer won’t let me install it because I already have quicktime 10 on this computer.
I have to say I’m baffled that Apple would remove the timecode feature from Quicktime 10.

G,
You can install it from your Snow Leopard disc. Look for the “Optional Installs” package on the disc.

Quicktime X is Apple’s new 64-bit capable version of Quicktime Player (to bring it into line with the other Snow Leopard Apps). Because of the jump to 64-bit they have had to simplify it a lot and a lot of features we used to take for granted have been removed.
As they knew this would cause problems for some people they included Quicktime 7 on the Snow Leopard installer disc which now goes into the Utilities folder.

I think I read somewhere that eventually, many of the features that did not carry over will be added. But if you REALLY need that feature, use QT7.
