Posting timecode
If you plan to create an EDL, you need to make sure that you have posted a
timecode onto each of the clips in your video project. This is because the post-
production house needs to know where your original source clips are located on
tape. If a clip does not have the correct timecode, the post-production house will
use 00:00:00:00 as the starting point for playing a clip during recording.
To accurately post timecode, you need to have recorded the timecode at the
time of capture using a controllable device.
To post timecode:
1. Click Clip: Post Timecode to open the Post Timecode dialog box.
2. Type the name of your source video in the Reel name entry box, for example,
"Wedding #1."
3. Specify the appropriate time to start recording from the source in the
Timecode spin box.
The timecode should have been recorded when you captured the video from
Video Capture using a controllable device. You can view this timecode by
clicking View: View Capture Log in Video Capture and then loading in the
original batch list file (BCT).
4. Click OK.
