  • Timecode burn question

    Posted by John Cummings on July 16, 2013 at 12:55 pm

    In PP 5.5 I want to make a lo-rez timecode burn file for a client for logging.
    What I’ve tried is to drag all the interviews to the timeline, select all clips then go to effects-timecode and drag that onto the clips.
    The problem is the timecode displayed in the burn is not the same timecode as the clips. Any idea where I’m going wrong here and/or is there a better way to do that sort of task? Thanks!

    Go to the Effects Control Panel for the Timecode effect and you’ll see various setting to allow the Timecode effect to match the sequence setting. You probably need to change the ‘Drop frame’ / ‘Non-drop frame’ setting.
