  • timecode visible in top part of picture when exporting

    Posted by Stig Waage on April 28, 2009 at 10:12 am

    When exporting a video from fcp, I experience a visible timecode in the top part of the picture, that, of course, shouldnt be visible.

    I have been exporting the videos in the same format as I imported them(from p2-cards), using IMX50.

    So far, so good. Opening the videos in, say, vlc shows no trace of the timecode in the picture. However, when I use FlipFactory to convert these vid’s into our system standard, the timecode suddenly shows.

    Oh, and the weird thing: This doesnt always happen. Just, say, 50% of the time. If I make a new project in FCP, with the exact same settings, copy the timeline from the old project over, and export that, the timecode is gone again!

    Someone think they got a clue as to why this is?

    Stig- I see no info on your system but my first guess is that there is a reference signal issue.

    [Stig Waage] “I have been exporting the videos in the same format as I imported them(from p2-cards), using IMX50.”

    P2 is not IMX50. P2 is a Panasonic format. IMX is a Sony format. The two of them don’t share formats outside of mini DV.
