There are free tools to do so.
If you have an avid (or a free 30 day trial), you could export to QT.
That will give you timecode, but no reelname.
If reelname is important, you can add it using QTchange.
(either set it yourself per reel, or export an ALE and have it done in one batch)https://www.videotoolshed.com/product/42/qtchange/2
There is a video tutorial as well.

I can’t imagine how changing TC could make the file corrupt.
TC in QT is just an extra TC track. (that you can remove using QT pro).I can imagine that linking to a slighly modified timecode will throw the edit timing off. That is the nature of the beast, and as it should be.
Something else is fishy.

QTchange can do so without any effort:

[Alex Wilson] “. Any idea what to do?”
Yes. You have to write a hell of a lot more on what you are doing,
as no-one can look over your shoulder trough this forum.But, before doing so, check the archives. Last month alone at least 5 people had sync problems that were discussed here.

[Michael Gissing] “Sorry Bourke but you clearly haven’t had footage like this rejected by a broadcast tech check.”
No, indeed. My stuff does not get rejected.
In the last couple of weeks i have delivered 20 shows to a local network. Shot on DV-cam, delivered as DV-cam, including the widescreen flag. No problems at all.[Michael Gissing] “ou absolutely MUST zoom up to remove both the VITC from the top of frame and the black edging around the frame”
Why is that? The black edging used to be on all betaSP material.
Also, at the time DV and DV-cam came out, non-linear was not good enough for output for broadcast. Most of the editing suites back then did not have a DVE to scale up, and if they did, you only touched it for effect work, as the image suffered severe.
Most of them even did not have a mixer to crop. And those suites pumped out broadcast stuff.[Michael Gissing] “As someone who delivers for broadcast all the time, I cannot get a shot like that past a tech check without removing side bars, bottom bar and VITC. Jerry’s remarks were correct and far from “ridicolous””
As someone who defined the specs for a broadcaster here,
i rather have black bars left and right than a blown up image.Besides, if you have VITC in your active image, you got a serious problem with your setup. Check your reference 🙂
[Michael Gissing] “For the web, I would zoom up also to make the image sit neatly. It looks amateur to see VITC and uneven black bars. We are talking about a zoom of about 2%, hardly a catastrophe.”
We’ve discussed VITC.
Now why would you scale up first, then scale again to get a proper internet format? You like the render? You like the improved quality?
Or are you outputting 720 x 480 non-square pixel to the web?
(Let alone that ‘true’ ntsc broadcast is 486…)
Talking about looking amateurish, not cropping to the actual intended framing is really amateur in my book.
(and that means cropping of about 10%, then scale)And now i will flag this post to get it moved to the basics forum, where this all belongs.

My bad, i’ve overlooked the ‘crop’ option in his post.

Nope.
If the source is widescreen, we (PAL guys) want the entire image squeezed into 720×576.WE DO NOT WANT LETTERBOXED 4:3 NOR 16:9 MATERIAL.
(Unless it’s film that is wider than 16:9, then we want anamorphic 16:9 with a bit of letterbox)

Jerry,
Are you a ‘certified trainer’?
What did you have to do to get that?
(don’t answer. I don’t want to know.)1) these lines are part of the video signal.
It’s DV, and the lines indicate aspect ratio.Since this is SD, the format is overscanned.
Meaning, no-one is ever going to see it on their TV.2)
Now your remark about scaling the video is ridicolous.
No-one scales his video to get rid of edged. If you must remove them:
(again, no need for TV), you either blank them with black (like DVD output that is viewed on computers), or crop.
Cropping is something always needed for SD to web, since that’s the only way to get proper framing.
(any decent shooter will know what the image looks, and how much of that ends up on TV, so he basis his framing on that.)Bouke

🙂
Cabling in my studio(s) (i have 3) alone was 15K….
(but that included the decks, and i left them out of the equation….)And that is also without HDMI, even withour HD cabling, pure SD analogue/SDI/audio.
