How do you display QuickTime Timecode?

Media Composer 3.5, NewsCutter 7.5 and Symphony 3.5 supports embedded timecode when exporting a QuickTime movie.

QuickTime Timecode Display

  1. Hover your mouse over the timecode field you will notice that two opposite facing up and down arrows appear  in the right hand side of the timecode window.
  2. If you then click on the window a contextual menu will open giving you three options.
  • Standard
  • Timecode (depending  on your source media you exported out of the Avid you might see Timecode Drop Frame or Non-Drop Frame.)
  • Frame Number

By selecting Timecode from the list you will now notice that the display field shows your actaul source media timecode that was exported from your sequence.
