Quicktime 7.1.6 – timecode support

[Tom Wolsky]

I am not seeing this. How are you getting this strip at the top of the window, and at the top of which window, the viewer or the properties window?

I have the extract function, which will make the TC a separate file (would be nice if there was such a function from the FCP timeline window), but I don’t think that’s what you mean.

All the best,

Tom

[Shane Ross] “Quite useless for those of us who send out this stuff out for Client review.”

You can find a “sweet spot” within FCP for exporting for client review and this should get better with the release of FCP 6. When using SyncVUE to review projects with clients, I always had to export from FCP’s timelines. It worked out fine. Not as much control as Compressor, but it worked fine.

Tom,
Did you select the check box for the Timecode Track in the Visual Setting Tab?

[Jon Smitherton]

Wouldn’t it be good if you could assign TC to clips?

imagine outsourced shots/graphics coming back with a timecode reference to be resynced in FCP to…

I’m not seeing what you’re seeing.

If I select the timecode track in the properties window, there is no tab for Visual Settings.

If I select the video track, there is a tab for Visual Settings, but I see no checkbox for Timecode in there.

All the best,

Tom

You can extract the timecode from the original clip and add it to another movie using QT pro. That could be pretty helpful.

See my reply to your duplicate post in the later thread “Quicktime 7.1.6 doesn’t see…”

Here is a screen grab that I hope will help.

You’ll notice that I scaled the space where the TC text is displayed. When I first applied the track, It cut off the bottom of the text. The text updates as you play the movie.

Could you describe the procedure to do this? I get how to extract it, but I can’t seem to figure how to add it into another QT file.

All the best,

Tom

If I select the Video track in properties I see this:

On check box for timecode. Adjusting the track height and width makes no difference. I’ve tried it with various material. DV, DVCPRO HD and HDV.

If I select the Timecode track in properties I see this:

There is no visual tab to select.

All the best,
