    Hi

    Does AE have a timecode overlay option in the Comp window (similar to FCP)?

    Sorry for the basic question. My Mac currently has no internet, so I can’t use Adobe help.

    Thanks much.

    Yes, AE has a Timecode effect, it’s under the Text category. There’s also a text preset that uses an expression, it looks quite a bit better: Animation Presets > Text > Current Time Format. (I’m using AE7, I don’t know if the expression is available in earlier versions.)

    BTW, the Help files for AE do not require you to be online. On older versions, they do open a web browser, but they’re just HTML files on your hard drive.
