Time Code reference for client DVD
Hey gang – I’ve got several P2/MXF clips from a project I’ve shot and need to provide a time code DVD for the client to review off line. In CS3 I usually just drop all the source clips in order onto the timeline, create a transparent video layer, drop time code effect on that layer and it usually works.
In this case, I have selected several good takes and dropped them on the timeline but the time code always starts at 00:00:00:00 and the clips are not in order or start at 00:00
Is there a method I’m not aware of to export a time code burn using the actual time code from each clip?
Thanks!

Because you want clip specific timecode, you have to apply it to each clip and change the timecode setting to media.

Thanks guys! I applied the time code to the first clip, tweaked the settings and did a copy and paste to the remaining clips and all is well and in sync. I never realized you didn’t have to create a transparent video layer to add time code. I don’t know where I even saw that but it doesn’t matter now. I got it working correctly. Thanks!

I think you _do_ need TC on a separate layer if you want to have “timeline timecode” instead of per-clip TC.

Yeah I forgot about timeline code. That is correct.
