Modifying Timecode in 2023.6

Thank you for this wonderful tip, Suraj5EBF
Too bad there are so many issues with Modify Timecode, a tool that worked perfectly well in the early years of APP, but for several years in all the updates despite lots of reports on this forum just doesn't get fixed.

Once you used the clips in your project you can not delete them anymore in your project, so do not forget about the option to replace them by themselfs (replace footage)!

Thank you, @Stan Jones and @daapap  for a more thorough explanation of the problem. I too saw a similar situation, in which Media starts to go to zero when the timecode is changed but doesn't update accordingly in Project panel; it only works when deleted and reimport the same media I will check and update if anything, but I have no idea why this is occurring.

thanks,

Suraj.

I check this too. Something is off.

That is exactely what i mean. thanks.

@daapap @Suraj5EBF,

Something sure seems wrong. I only looked at 23.6.

Import a clip. Mine has a starting timecode of 3 minutes and change. This is displayed in the Media Start column. Open the clip in the Source Monitor; it starts at 3 minutes etc.

Right-click, modify, timecode, change to 5 minutes and leave the rest unchanged. "Alternate timecode" is now checked.

Media Start says zero. Open the clip in the Source Monitor it starts at zero. Modify still shows "Alternate timecode" active, but the timecode is zero.

Delete that clip, and then reimport. It shows the alternate timecode in the Media Start, in the Source Monitor, and in the modify dialogue.

Change the Alternate to something else, all is back to zero.

No, i don't want to change the start tc of the sequence.

I want to change the start tc of clips. Pick a clip, right click "modify - timecode". enter a new start tc (for example the hour/minute from the recording metadata). Hit enter. Whatever you enter, it will result in "00:00:00:00" in Premiere Pro 2023, while in PPro 2022 the media start tc in the bin will show up with the new tc.

Good day, @daapap

Do you want to arrange the clip's start timecode to be in order?

Select "Start Timecode" option from the Timeline Humberger menu, then change the Timecode value to a desired value. If you open the sequence on any monitor or export a clip, the start timecode value will be visible.

I hope this is what you were seeking! Inform us.

thanks,

Suraj.

Change the setting.
