Double-click the clip to highlight it.
The 3 small boxes at the bottom right of the timeline are Selection Start, Selection End & Length.
This only shows timeline timecode though and not tape timecode.
Edit Details will show you that information.
Is this what you're looking for?

Amazing. That is a very valuable tool for this kind of TC sensitive editing job I find myself doing. That is very useful, thank you!!!!

That's perfect.

Sadly I'm cutting audio too and this doesn't seem to work, but good to know!!!

Hmm, never thought about it. That might be a good suggestion. Allow associated timecode to be shown in audio clips as well.

If you want to see tape source timecode superimposed on preview, apply TimeCode FX to the media clip in Project Media. There is also a script which does this to every piece of video used.

Yes, yes please lets get timecode in audio also. I have sent this in to the Sony suggestion page but we need many more. Vegas lags behind other NLEs in this professional editing feature.

The only workaround for me in editing audio with timecode in Vegas is matchframe to trimmer and check the source time code of the audio and adjust from there. Very tedious though.

That has been done to death and then some in the audio forum.
Of course you need audio with T/C to see the T/C. This is bog standard for location audio. Vegas will sort of read T/C from Broadcast Wave Files but will NOT create a BWF file with T/C.

All fo this sounds rather esoteric, it's unlikely any of us will be affording loaction recorders that record with T/C, they cost big time.
But there's another use for this that would benefit many of us.
Multicam edits.
I oftenly have many tracks of audio with these, a feed from the desk, camera audio and the CDs used at the event as well. I get everything synced up and then I start to edit. I spend most of my editing time sweating over an edit blowing the audio sync. It's a nightmare. If instead I could simpy render out all those audio tracks to a multitrack BWF file with timecode and lay that back in I'd have an instant cue to things being in sync as I edited.
That's on top of how much it'd benefit the audio guys who need to send BWF files with T/C to client's systems.
