Export clips with timecode

Hello,  I have several clips and want to export clips separately while maintaining the correct timecode starting point. I put a timecode on the invisible video on top of these clips when I export it starts again from 0 but I want it to continue correctly. I really need to make this correctly because I should give animators clips so they have right time codes

I created it to export separately( maybe I do wrong), I attached the file. my goal is to have clips with the right timecodes


Here you go. I did the first 3 clips, do the same for the rest. Let me know if you have any questions.

I don't quite understand what exactly you need. But, if you need to export with timecode you can do it from the Export module. You activate the Timecode Overlay checkbox and you can adjust some simple parameters.

I divided the original video into several smaller clips, where the first clip covers the footage from 1 to 5 seconds. My intention was for the second clip to seamlessly continue from the 5th second to the 10th second, and so on for subsequent clips.

However, when I exported the clips and viewed them, I noticed that each clip's Time code started from 0 seconds instead of picking up where the previous clip ended.

Thank you, You are really trying to help me. I appreciate that. Sorry that I didn't explain well what I need


But are you exporting from the timeline or from the project window? I still don't really understand why you need the nests. Send me a copy of your project and I'll try to explain to you how to go about it.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean.

Do you want to export the clips with their original source timecode? Or are you trying to give them a new timecode? If you put the Timecode effect on 'Invisible video' it won't use the timecode of the clip underneath. 

Have you tried putting the Timecode effect on the clip itself?

Need more information about exactly what you're trying to do.

Hello, Thank you for your answer. So I have multiple clips, if I put separate time codes it won't be correct. I had one video and then I cut it, So the first clip is from 1-5 sec, and then I need the second one to continue from 5-10 and so on. But when I export because there is one timecode on the transparent video, for each clip it starts from 0
