Display source timecode

PostSat 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?

Do you want the Edit page Timeline timecode or the individual clip's timecode?

Source timecode is individual clips timecode.

So strange that that's not in the metadata of the MediaIn output.

The last - and only time - I wanted to do that, I made an extra TL especially for the clips I needed the TC to show up, and inserted the whole TL in the main one (or exported it, don't remember)...

Don't know if this will help. I have done something similar with Text+ node in fusion. I set the text to a formula and the formula was time(). This displayed the number of frames in the clip. That would need reformatting to get what you want,

I just tried to add the timecode. I think I got it.

Firstly, not sure why you got the sequence timecode. In my case, the Media TC was always on screen. The issue I encountered was even though the media had a 10-hour TC, Title+ only displayed the seconds and frames. MediaIn 10:00:02:06 Title+ output: 00:00:02:06. To get the TC I need I went to the modifiers tab and adjusted the Start Offset display. To get the exact TC I used a timecode calculator and converted the results to frame count.

Not a big deal if I must say.
