Timecode Output with Premiere?

[Rupert Bildge]

Is there any way to create a new timecode for a project in Premiere and superimpose it over the video? i.e. a timecode which starts at the beginning of the project, nothing to do with the original timecode for each clip.

Hi Rupert Bildge,

Which version of Premiere? I've used 6.0 and currently use 1.5 and I've not seen anything that will do it easily. That said, I've never needed to do it so haven't really looked for it.

It seems it can be done in After Effects, if you have that...

If you don't have any luck, try searching / posting in the forums at www.wrigleyvideo.com/videotutorial - an awesome site (check out the tutorials), even if you don't find what you're after...

If you do find the asnwer over there, post back here for others to see.

Good luck...

Premiere Pro 1.5. Thanks for the AE tip - it's right there

Rupert,
You have 3 options.

1. After Effects (mentioned above)
2. http://www.dve.nm.ru/ --> DV Date plugin for Premier e Pro
3. http://www.2writers.com/scripts/rd.dll?ID=1 --> Will generate a bunch of files that can be keyed out in Premiere Pro.

2. http://www.dve.nm.ru/ --> DV Date plugin for Premier e Pro

A quote from that site:

"...print the timecode or shooting time information of the shooting made on a digital camcorder..."

However...

i.e. a timecode which starts at the beginning of the project, nothing to do with the original timecode for each clip.

The DV Date plugin is certainly useful, but not in this instance for Rupert Bildge.
