    Hi, I would like to know if FCP can display Tape TC while Capture window is open. Unfortunately I don’t have VCR near me when I must catpure footages So It is impossible to me to check the TC. Is it possible to see Tape TC running while capturing. Yes, I could take the VCR TC Out Monitor but…for several reasons I can’t so…Anyone have an idea
    Thank you very much

    I wish there was….annoying isn’t it? Avid has this, but FCP…when you hit CAPTURE NOW or any other CAPTURE option, the control surface vanishes and all you get is that monitor.

    Yup, pain in the patoot.

    I just now found myself in a situation where I really needed to display timecode while capturing. Agreed, what an pain.

    It’s really hard to imagine how this , and the generally poor options to display TC in any situation, has not become a priority.

    Any wagers on whether this will be addressed in the next significant update?
