Question

Need to export SOURCE timecode in a ProRes export for other editors.

I am color correcting individual clips to send to other editors. The source timecode is never included in the clips I am exporting as ProRes files despite having Metadata embedded and the source metadata set to “Preserve all.” 

Does anyone have an idea of how I can export the clips I color corrected as ProRes422 files which retain the source timecode (e.g. 16;56;54;25)? Every clip I export starts at “0.” For clarification, these clips have the exact same duration as their source because nothing about them is altered except for the color correction.

I want to export otherwise identical clips with the source timecode I gave using my tentacle sync.

    Are you selecting them from the timeline panel or the bin?

    Everyone's mileage always varies ...

    Ah! I was exporting from a timeline. Is there a way to export the original file from the project while adding a lumetri color effect across all of the records? Or would it be “modifying” a clip with a lumetri color effect?

    Exporting from clips with original timecode needs to be from a bin, unfortunately, as that has been requested many times from a sequence over the years but it’s not been added.

     

    To get them with correction, you would need to copy the Lumetri effect used and then paste it to the clips in the bin.
