Timecode display
I have shot 8+ hours of footage for a documentary and the customer wants to have all the footage on DVD’s to run through the “rushes” to see what they want to use or discard. Is there a way to have the timecode displayed in the frame so they can make basic cutting decisions using simple time in and out points? I am using Vegas 8 Pro.
Thanks

Add the Timecode FX to either the media in the Project Media tab (to get the actual media timecode) or to the project on the preview window to get an overall timecode. You can also add it to events and tracks but for your purpose, the overall project timecode is probably best since it will be a consistent reference throughout the project.

A method I have used to display the actual tape timecode in a window over the media for “client copies”, Is to use TOOLS/ SCRIPTING / ADD TIMECODE TO ALL MEDIA.
Be sure to have OPTIONS / PREFERENCES / VIDEO / SHOW SOURCE FRAME NUMBERS ON EVENT THUMBNAILS AS [drop down] TIMECODE
After dragging all your captured media to timeline and burning a timecoded DVD or whatever, just go back to TOOLS/ SCRIPTING / REMOVE TIMECODE FROM ALL MEDIA.
hope this helps
