I don’t know if this is Big Timecode or something new in 6.0, but here are a couple of pictures from the NAB rollout:

FWIW, where Avid excels is in its ability to have a window that displays the time codes of multiple video and/or audio layers at the timeline cursor. These all update in real time play.

And don’t flame me for mentioning a powerful Avid feature…

Those are marketing images rather than FCP screenshots. It is a powerful Avid feature but there’s no big timecode in FCP6 without BigTIme.

Is it possible that type of timecode is an Avid trademark?

Nope. Lots of apps have floating big timecode displays including Soundtrack Pro 2.

wow, i go away for a long weekend and you are all here helping when i get back! Good cow.

unfortunately you guys kind of reinforced that there isnt anything along the lines of what i am looking for. I use big time and its great, but it doesnt show source timecode. So if i have a selection of clips in the timeline, i have to pause to find out the source/tape timecode for the director. guess i will just have to get some big glasses and start actually communicating with the director. damn.

thanks guys
