Time Code Burn in
Is there a faster way to add Time Code burn in to a project without the very long long long render?
I have an hour long series of interviews and it’s a 4 hour render!
Thanks,
Eric

Add the realtime timecode burn-in, output to tape in realtime, capture that back in realtime. It will shave 2 hours off the turnaround time.

Eric,
What version of Avid are you using? It’s been a realtime effect for a while now.

I believe Media Composer 3.0 introduced it, which was about 2.5 years ago now, if that helps.

Check under ‘Generators’ in your Effects Palette.

If you do an EXPERT render of everything, not including that effect…you will have more realistic render times. I haven’t had to render that effect at all…even when exporting to QT. And I output in real time without rendering to my DVD recorder, or deck…
No rendering. MC4 and MC5

[Shane Ross] “I haven’t had to render that effect at all…even when exporting to QT.”
How is that? Avid always does a render when you export (although I think it’s a top-layer only render, which is pretty close to an Expert Render). Are you rendering along the way so it’s already rendered, or has Avid changed something?
I might have to test this.

Well, I am exporting via the Matrox Mini w/Max, but I didn’t think it sped up rendering. It took 75 min to export a 90 min show after I slapped on the TC gen filter. The expert render of everything below that took 5 min.

It will render the effect upon export.

Thanks everyone for the replies. It sounds like I can just export a QT Reference file to make a DVD without rendering. Great advice. I’ll try it today.
To one of the people who replied I’m using AVID Media Composer 5.

Definitely renders the effect on export. Try it with/without and compare export times.
