  • TC info defaults to frames not timecode above source monitor

    Posted by Toby Hinger on November 16, 2006 at 2:02 am

    Hi everyone,

    I assume there’s a simple answer to this. The timecode information displayed above the source and record monitors can be shown in a variety of different ways, like in to out, master, V1 etc.

    But all these options can be shown as either timecode [00:00:16:04] or frames [404].

    My source monitor keeps defaulting to the frame count, but I want regular timecode.

    I can’t find a setting for this. I’ve also tried changing it and then saving the workspace, which doesn’t help.

    I’m currently displaying two rows of info, on a Media Composer Adrenaline HD v2.2.7

    Any ideas?

    This is a bug that goes away on some releases and comes back. Very annoying. If I remember right it’s been fixed in release 2.5.x and 2.6.x, but not in 2.2.7.

    One thing to try: you might be able to save your workspace or toolset as a Site Setting (it’s under the Special Menu, I think). Just open Site Settings, set your workspace/toolset the way you want, save it, then drag that setting to the Site Settings box. This should save it for good.

    Mike.
