[Shane Ross]

You don’t. The new timecode window only works with the Canvas and Viewer.

Nor does the timecode display work during Edit To Tape, something we’ve been asking for since FCP v1. In addition, your audio meters don’t work during capture or Edit To Tape.

If you’re capturing HD via a Kona card you can see the running embedded TC via the AJA ControlPanel with the “Timecode” tab selected. Be sure to position the Aja ControlPanel so it’s unobstructed when FCP is capturing.

This may be doable with a Blackmagic card as well.

I patch the character out of the deck to the composite video input of my external monitor during capture or ETT. also monitor audio levels via external audio meters.
the only time it doesn’t work is in 23.98 fps material which won’t display composite.
for that it’s have a little faith or an EDL for capture, and a quick trip to the machine room during bars for ETT
