    Thanks Jeremy, I was afraid that was the case, just hoping somebody else knew something that I didn’t.

    Doesn’t it seem like you would want both clips updated when new markers are made in most situations? It would be nice to at least have the option.

    I’m not really excited about moving to FCPX just yet, but I wonder if this issue has been addressed there.

    Thanks for the link Todd. Am I supposed to contact them from that page? I still can’t seem to find anything about submitting a bug report there..

    Maybe I’m just not seeing it. I’ve had a long day..

    I’ve just started using Form and I’m having the same problem. If I turn off the form layer, I can undo. And as Rja said, when form is enabled, all my undo history says is “Change Value” no matter what actions I actually completed.

    Also, when I hit undo, I get a quick little render bar like its doing something, but nothing changes.

    Unfortunately this is one of those things that is very time and labor intensive. There’s no way around doing it manually. If you search The Cow for “karaoke”, you will fins some expressions to help some, but there’s just no way for the computer to know the timing and placement of the lyrics.

    There are some stand-alone apps that may also be useful, but then you might have issues trying to customize the look exactly like you want it.

    I would think you are gonna need to use some expressions for this.

    Maybe this will serve as a good starting point, or give you some other ideas to work off of..

    [Guido Agüero] “i haven’t touched anything in C4D I just create a rectangle and rotate it and create a plane to project in AE.

    so what i am doing wrong?”

    The simple solution is to rotate the null’s orientation 90Ëš inside AE. Maybe someone more knowledgeable about C4D can tell you exactly why this happens.

    This is a pretty common issue when going from C4D to AE if you don’t maintain C4D’s default orientation to the world axis. You should be able to rotate your AE null’s orientation by 90Ëš and then parent your video to it.

    Now that’s what I’m talking about! That’s why I love the Cow!

    Wow, Andreas, thanks a million for your time and effort on this. At the rate I’m picking up Applescript, it would have taken me a year to come up with a script like that 🙂

    I really do appreciate your help, and this inspires me to figure out what else I can do with Applescript. Thank you so much!

    Thanks again for your time Andreas..

    Your suggestion is exactly what my train-of-thought has led me to. Just last night and this morning I’ve been learning about AppleScript. It seems like someone with a strong command of AppleScript could get this done fairly easily, but I’m not quite there yet.

    My footage is NDF TC, so that should help. I also have a Timecode Calculator widget for the Mac which is very helpful and I highly recommend it to any editor. I’m using TextMate for XML editing.

    I think for now I will have to log the footage as-is, but I would love to figure this out for the future, and I can’t be the only editor who has had to deal with this particular problem.

    If anyone else could shed any light on using AppleScript to calculate and batch edit the “Start Timecode” in XML files, it would be very much appreciated!

    Thanks for your time Steve and Andreas. I should have mentioned that I know about Plural Eyes, but that would only help after the logging process. I’m looking for a way to make the logging process more efficient, as well as the organization of logged clips and the editing process afterward. Over the years, I’ve developed a workflow that relies heavily on synced timecode for multi-cam shoots. So now that I have 2 cams that aren’t synced, it’s giving my head a fit!

    Andreas, as far as changing the timecode in the XML, I can confirm that it is not ignored inside FCP. Try it yourself. Make a copy of an XML file in the Clip folder. Change the “Start Timecode” value on the original XML file and then open Log and Transfer and find the clip you just modified. When I do this, I see the new timecode that I entered. Even after ingesting, I still see the timecode I entered. You can even see the new timecode if you view the clip in QT and select the appropriate timecode option in the timecode counter area. Also, I don’t *think* the timecode is written directly to the video clip. If you open the MXF file in QT, there is no timecode track. In my understanding, FCP reads the XML file and applies those attributes to the clip when you view it in L&T. The attributes only seem to be merged with the clip after ingesting.

    Now I am not saying that I am an expert on the XML side of things, and changing the timecode could indeed be causing problems that I don’t know about. But on initial inspection it only seems to be doing exactly what I want it to do. I should also mention that I have backups of all my media, so I don’t mind experimenting with this stuff if it helps my efficiency in the end, and possibly helps others in a similar situation down the road.

    So does anyone else have any experience or advice regarding how to batch edit the timecode in the XML metadata?
