time code plug-in
The time code burn-in effect introduced with MC 3.0 is an excellent tool. But I’m unable to make any source time code visible beyond audio tracks 1 and 2. When I select audio 3 or higher for display what I get is “no such track” even though I am using tracks 3 and 4.
What have I overlooked in the settings?

I can recreate this in MC 3.5.4. Seems like a bug. New features tend to frown upon A3+ (like AMA audio). I tried throwing the effect on a higher video track just for fun (V3+) and to the actual audio track with no luck (though it’s not an audio effect so I guess that one makes sense). I’ll head over to the Avid forum and report it. Burn-in isn’t used much for audio so that’s probably why it’s gone unnoticed this long.

Any info from Avid on this yet? Doesn’t appear to be a very pressing problem, but for what it’s worth I’ve narrowed down the bug (on MC3.1.3):
“No such track” appears if there is nothing (ie. “filler”) at the head of the audio track. Obvious work around: put 1 frame of silence at the start of the track.

Peter,
I am not on the system this morning and haven’t had a chance to check your finding. But the “absent” tracks indeed have no audio at the head. I think you’ve solved my problem.
