Timecode in a MPEG2 file
Hi everybody.
I got a HD TIFF sequence that I have to master with SMPTE bars and a peep tone. They also want exact timecodes. that is to say, file starts at 09:59:50:00, Bars and tone until 09:59:57:00, 3 seconds black. programme starts at 10:00:00:00 etc…
My question is, how to embed this TC information in the rendered MPEG file?
I set my comp time to start at 09:59:50:00, and then laid everything out in the timelime as it should be and rendered. Then to check what the source TC is on the clip, I brought it bach intoAE and checked the “Media Start” tab in the project Window, but it starts at 00:00:00:00.
Is it even possible to do what Im trying? I can’t find any information online about it.
Any help is, as always, deeply appreciated.

CS6 btw…A picture is only as good as the glass it comes through. And the person using the camera has something to do with it too.
