TC Burn In App

[Michael Hancock]

Adobe Media Encoder will do it. It’s under the Effects tab.

Here’s a preset to generate a 360p .h264 file, matching your source frame rate, with timecode burn (for Media Encoder CC 2015 v9.2.0.26).

Thanks Michael thats awesome!!

[Eric Santiago]

I cant seem to get the .epr file to import.
Any tips?

[Michael Hancock]

You should be able to just drag it into the Preset Browser pane in the “User Presets and Groups” (upper right pane).

What version of Media Encoder are you running?

I just have to update my AME.

Thanks again Michael!

You’re welcome, and hope it helps. That’s the preset I use when we send interviews out for transcription. The files are super small with big timecode.

Another great little feature of Media Encoder is the ability to transcode footage with a custom LUT applied. It’s also under the Effects tab. So if you have Log footage and need to send out low res previews for client/producer review, you can apply a LUT to the footage sand have it stamp timecode all at once, so you aren’t sending out super flat fooage. And it’s super fast.

Thanks for the tips, this will help.

I havent had to do this in ages.

Im used to RED footage exports for dailies using RCX.

I didnt realise AME had this option.

Resolve would have been another option.

Source Timecode is a free FCPX plugin from CoreMelt that now works.
