“Resetting time code” for quicktime files
Hi,
Does anyone know if there’s a way of resetting the time code on quicktime files?
Let me explain:
I have a 10bit 4:2:2 (aja codec) file, that has been captured elsewhere from DigiBeta. To ease the load on my computer, I’ve reencoded it to Microsoft DV using canopus procoder 2, and am going to edit it in Premiere Pro 1.5. The time code in the DV file starts from zero, whereas the 10 bit file starts from the media timecode from the Beta tape. In the past I’ve solved this by dropping it into a sequence i Final Cut and exporting it to a self contained quicktime 10bit 4:2:2 movie, thus “resetting” the time code. This is however very time consuming, and I’m thinking there’s got to be an easier way of just resetting the header of the 10bit 4:2:2 file or something. Can anyone help here?Thanks,
Henrik -

In FCP you can select the clip and use Modify>Timecode. This will change the timecode track on the QT media file. It’s a destructive function.

You can set it to either drop or NDF.
All the best,
