Timecode REFUSES to start at zero

Hello Adobe Community!

I am trying to put together edits to make the cut and for whatever reason, the timecode will not start at 0.

Instead it decides to start at 59:56:09 for nearly every Sequence including the ones I have done in the past. I really am lost on what to do as I have never had problems with this. I even made new projects to see if it may be a bug but I am having the same problems. I am starting to think it is some metadata I cannot overwrite in the camera but it is the same camera used in the past as well.

Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Except I am not talking about using an adjustment layer!... what I am talking about is using the feature which is part of any sequence that is called "Start time..."...:

"In the Timeline panel menu, select Start Time. In the Start Time dialog, enter the start time, and select Set As Default For Future Sequences. The start time that you enter will be the default start time for all new sequences."

Then you can add your Timecode effect to read your sequence timecode.

Not exactly. Simply put, I am adding an adjustment layer and using the timecode on that adjustment layer. I want the timecode to start at 0 and play to the end of that clip for each sequence that I have made - so the total playtime for the timecode will vary. What is strange is that the files I worked on months ago are doing the same thing which is very weird.

I am starting to think Premeire bugged on me as my old project file was "an older version" so Premeire forced me to make a new one.

I am not sure I understand what you are trying to achieve... why don't you change the starting timecode of your sequence to 0h00:00:00 and then use the Timecode effect to display the actual timecode of your sequence?

Because that is exactly what it will not do for me. Otherwise I would not be here. I tried seeing if the problem persists on my laptop but I am getting the same issues of the timecode not generating at zeros.

Try using a transparent video track instead of an adjustment layer, it has worked for other people.

Thank guys for your suggestions! I managed to get it to work. Someone must have changed my capture format from HDV to DV =[

Anyway I am using the transparent video layer as well with my timecode preset and everything appears back to normal. Although I do have to redo all the timecode for my sequences but that won't take much time. Thanks for your help on this Sunday afternoon.

Hello, I'm having the same exact issue with the start time of 59:56:09.

I first tried putting my timecode on an adjustment layer and after reading this thread switched to a transparent video layer but  this change has not addressed my problem.  

 

I then tried changing my capture format like you said above by going to capture settings - however  all I see regarding  HDV and DV settings are underneath the option "device control" and here I only have the option of changing that from DV/HDV to none.

 

Are there any other suggestions for how to get my timecode to start at 00:00:00?

Hi Drumming Cyborg,

@tordenver just gave the correct instructions: 

 

"In the Timeline panel menu, select Start Time. In the Start Time dialog, enter the start time, and select Set As Default For Future Sequences. The start time you enter will be the default start time for all new sequences."

 

Then you can add your Timecode effect to read your sequence timecode.

Thanks,
Kevin

  1. Select Edit > Preferences > Media (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Media (Mac OS).
  2. In the Timecode menu, choose one of the following:

    Use Media SourceShows the timecode recorded to the source.

    Start At 00:00:00:00Starts timecode shown for every clip at 00:00:00:00.

    That should fix it!

That worked perfect. I had media that for some reason wanted to begin at a different timcode in the source viewer than 0. This fixed it!

This is an old thread but I just encountered this problem when I tried to assign a timecode starting at (0) to an adjustment layer to create a window dub.  It always started at 01 and I couldn't change it.  I finally changed the effects settings in the timecode window to start at 23;00;00;00 and it worked!  For some reason, it seems like the TC effect starts an hour after the time you specify. I'm sure I'm making an incorrect interpretation about that, but for this issue this workaround works.
