Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Timecode generator

    I applied the timecode generator to a 1 hour clip. Works great. However, if I edit that clip with cuts then the timecode resets at the breaks. Any way to get continuous timecode for the duration?
    Thanks!

    Thank you very much. I tried the timecode viewer and it works better but as you cut clips up after applying it – it still does not match the “timecode viewer” the actual time count of the edit. What is your workflow?

    As Chris says, you have to apply the “TC Reader” filter.

    Thanks for your input Rafael. Here’s what I’m doing.

    1) put 60 min. clip on timeline
    2) go to 30 min. mark and cut out, just for example everything between 30 min. and 35 min. (5 min. of video) with the razor/ripple delete
    3) The TC reader generated timecode reads 35:00 now while the timecode viewer reads 30:00. Why is that?

    Thanks.

    OK.
    Make all your cuts, then “nest” the sequence and apply the “TC GENERATOR”.
    You will get a continuous TC that should match the sequence (no footage) TC, so should match the TC Viewer too.
