Display source timecode
Posted: Sat Oct 09, 2021 9:28 pm
I'm trying to display the source timecode of the clips that constitute a video in an "HH:MM:SS" format.
I know about the "Workspace > Data Burn-In > Source Timecode" option and while that displays the correct timecode, it does so through the entirety of the video. However I need to show and hide the timecode throughout certain sections of my video. There's also no way to format the output or add more than rudimentary styling.
Ideally I'd like to have a Text+ node in an adjustment clip that displays the source timecode of a MediaIn node. I know I can right-click in the text field of a Text+ node and set it to "Timecode", but that is the timecode of the timeline not the timecode of the MediaIn clip.
Is there an expression that I can use in a Text+ node that will yield the source timecode of a MediaIn node? Or is there another way that I can achieve what I'm trying to do?
