This is a quote from the manual.
– Time codes are not recorded on Motion Pictures recorded when the [Rec Format] is set to [MP4].

I didn’t realize this either but it makes sense now. I came across this post researching why the time code doesn’t match when recording mov files. It is correct on the display when recording (matches internal clock) but Premiere Pro (cs5.5) is off by about 3 hours when using the time code effect.

Thank you posting that. I am planning to use this technique in an upcoming project and remembered seeing this but couldn’t remember the subject matter. It was driving me nuts.

I am going to attempt this by having each section drawn in time-lapse and make each its own comp in After Effects. Then lay them out as needed. I will report on how it goes if we move forward with it.

All great points.

One other factor is that roughly a third of what you make less expenses will be handed over to Uncle Sam (for U.S. companies anyway) at the end of the year. I don’t necessarily increase the quote by 33% but I do factor this in to my overhead. That was probably one of the most important of many lessons learned in my first year.
