  • Unable to export Quicktime or AVI with timecode

    Posted by Bret Hampton on September 29, 2012 at 1:08 am

    I’m trying to export a movie with my timeline timecode, as the broadcaster requires DF TC, bars and tone, slate, program start at 1:00:00:00 as normally supplied on tape.

    My timeline is set to start at 58:30:00. However no matter which settings I’ve tried, QT, AVI, Match source, etc the finished file always starts at 0. The help menu says timecode data is always exported, even if Metadata settings are all off.

    Appreciate any suggestions.

    So you’re Not laying off to tape then?
    This is a digital file delivery?

    Hi Chris

    Yes, it’s for broadcast and I’m required to delivery embedded timecode. I did some tests since I posted and the problem seems to be whenever I use AJA sequence settings. I have Kona LHe card. I’m able to edit to digibeta tape using timeode.

    If I use non-Aja preset for DV the timecode is there. However that’s 720×480 and I don’t want to alter the 720×486 files.

    I also tried Blackmagic presets and they work fine.

    Any ideas?

    FWIW, I have had conversations with tech support about the same issue with my Kona 3. They said PrP does not embed TC in the HD-SDI stream. They said FCP 7 does .

    Tom

    Thanks, that explains the problem. I also have Kona with FCP and no problems there. I guess I’ll have to open the file in FCP and make a new QT with timecode there.

    Really appreciate your help
