I’ve not heard Vegas can do this. I have heard one can bake-in timecode as the camera captures. But I’m guessing you knew this already?

thank you

Like this in VLC Player? "only few MTS players, MTS converters and AVCHD editors are able to read the timecode integrated in the MTS files and get the timecode from AVCHD file displayed and converted.In the VLC Player, you can display the timecode in the playback by opening it in the right-click menu, video option and switching the option for subtitle track on there."(from Aunsoft)

A couple of maybe related threads from the archives

Thank you so much!  This is helpful

Depends on what and where exactly you want that.
You can use the internal or self made code from th fileproperties on the video events, but if you want a selfmade timecode on the whole of your project this is a possibility

1. Place time timecode project FX, look what suites you and hide with the Cookie Cutter project FX what you don't like.

2, Place over your whole project a simple title with the date ( ore more with more dates)

 

Hi

Could you please give a few more details, as you appear to know your way with this problem:

Your insight requested on how to create burn-in timecode using MovieStudio Platinum14 --

Two different situations:

1) dropping onto timeline for compilation footage, starting at 00:00:00 (for client to make paper notes)

2) to display the camera-source timecode of individual clips (to quickly transfer into project timeline)

thanks!

Is there a way to have a date and a continuous timestamp throughout a video?

May be my ShowRecDat Tool with the Vegasaur 'Text Generation Wizard' does what you are looking for. Without the 'Text Generation Wizard' you get subtitles that can be switched on and off by the player, which I prefer.

Note to g-jo: Vegasaur needs VPro.

Vegasaur can generate a subtitles file from recording date/time metadata

Note to vkmast -- to clarify, MS Platinum 14 is unable to display the camera-source timecode of individual clips appearing on the timeline? If it can in anyway, please give a 2 or 3 point method for doing that... I appreciate reading the links suggested, but they don't seem to give the solution. Thanks in advance for your help. (Also, not willing to get the VPro package...)

@g-jo AFAIK, MS 14 P can't.
