  • Still no TCR…. really??

    Posted by Mark Morache on December 23, 2013 at 4:50 am

    I can’t keep holding my breath waiting for Apple to give me a way to provide timecode window burns to my clients. I can do it easily in FCP7, but I’m dying to put that app to bed.

    Does anyone know if Apple might have provided some sort of hook so that a developer could create this as a third-party effect?

    I would gladly pay for this. I’d pay even more if the effect would automatically add the clip name to the window burn. I can do this in FCP7 in a multi-step process, but I long to do everything in X.

    I’d pay cash money for this. Seriously.

    I’ve been requesting this one since it broke way back when. I’m starting to think we should send this bug to the Motion team.

    Mark,

    I posted the same question on an other forum.

    This was something I immediately tried when I got the new FCPX and Motion.
    It’s ridiculous that they didn’t fix it. But I think it’s not a FCPX but a Motion Bug.

    Depending on the jobs which are announced for January I maybe will rewrite the little app I did for FCP.

    You can send me an email and I let you know.

    Edit

    I just gave it a try with a rebuild of my old stuff.
    In last versions this feature just was missing.
    Now it is really buggy. With old versions you where able to open the clip in timeline and apply the TCR.
    That’s something you can do now as well. The TC is displayed correctly.
    BUT once you edit this (compound) clip to the timeline everything is screwed up.

    If you make a compound clip, add the generator, then edit that compound in to a Project, the tc seems to stick.

    This means that all of your clips have to be compounds, though.

    Seriously, this is really annoying, and that’s me being kind.

    Yes… I recently had a project with about 300 clips. To use the word annoying would be extremely kind.

    How about irritating

    exasperating

    maddening

    irksome

    galling

    aggravating

    enraging

    vexing

    and generally just plain effed up beyond all belief.

    thanks… i feel better now.
