Timecode burn in window using the Numbers Effect
Hey Guys-
I can’t say it enough, Creative Cow is a phenomenal resource. You guys have bailed me out more than a few times in the past. I need to add a timecode window to a video file(quicktime reference). The timecode effect has a lot of negative space below the numbers that is distracting.
The work around I found was the Numbers effect. I made the black window box with a mask and a black solid behind the video. With the Numbers effect I couldn’t find a way to start the timecode at 01:00:00:00 . The ‘timecode’ with the numbers plugin would also slightly move. I don’t understand the movement, I checked and there were no keyframes on that layer. I know there is probably a bonehead simple solution to start the timecode @ 01:00:00:00. Any help will be appreciated and thank you for your time.

Hi Michael,
To eliminate the movement with the “Numbers” effect just uncheck the “Proportional Spacing” box.
Does this help?

Thanks Serge! The proportional spacing fixes the movement problem. Do you have any ideas about how to start the ‘timecode’ @ 01:00:00:00 ?
Thanks again,
Michael Tapp

Hi,
I would suggest you to use the “Timecode” Effect instead of the “Numbers”. Then all you need to do is adjust the Starting Frame parameter. The value of(108000)should get you there.
