thanks ill try that. its a good idea

[Guillermo Silberstein]

so is this a more advance question? for the advance FCP forum?

[Guillermo Silberstein]

NICEEEEEEEEE !!!!!

ive been lookiing for a program like this. yes i dont need to edit video. well sometimes we get the video split in 2 or we get a new promo which i have insert into FcP.
but usuasy its just QT compression and visual TC so im going to check this program out,,, and see if its faster than FCP.

thanks!!!

thanks for the thought but I’d rather talk about figuring FCP pro and visual TC,

[Guillermo Silberstein]

you mean to capture video from the DVD? or to capture the manu?
or not capture at all just import the menu markers or setting?

[Guillermo Silberstein]

yes, they need to do things differently.. sadly… we have bitch and moaned but we they have not changed anything for some reason or another.

so we get h264/ pcm audio.

pro tools doent generate visual time code of the clip. the visual time code is also to sync the clip with pro tools, that way we know that there is no syncing issues.
but the most important reason is for translations and close captioning which need TC on screen.

[Guillermo Silberstein]

very interesting!

and just to be clearer..

so we get the QTs in h264 with linear pcm audio (non compress) from production/ editors in another place so we get DVDs with the QT and the OMF.

for the QT i have to add visiible time code AND compress the audio (AAC) in FCP to then export it digidelivery to other countries and for close captioning.

then i have to make a mjpeg A/ with AIFF audio, for us to work with. i do this with quicktime pro by converting what came out of FCP.

how do i render just the visible timecode once? you mean on one of the movies i get or from a blank clip? if so , how do i make a blank clip or better yet, how do i export a time code clip only?

then, how do i super impose that clip on top of the QT i have to add visible time code?

and where can i find out more about motion tab stuff ?

[Guillermo Silberstein]

yep visual

[Guillermo Silberstein]

thats right.. bounce is for audio folks 🙂

i think i forgot to mentioned that i need visible TC on the video. is that what you where refering?

the process for me is to import the QT/video file into FCP (or drag it in) then add the time code effect.

the clips start at 2 seconds before one hour.. so i have to offset the timcode generator to start at 59:58.

then i do export using qucktime conversion (that way it works with pro tools!. )

i tried selecting the clip and going to modify timecode but there is no visible timcode.
