timecode doesn't change velocity

Spock445 wrote on 5/14/2020, 8:29 AM

I generated a black screen via Media Generator and then i applied the "timecode" effect on the video. Then i right-clicked and inserted an envelope on it called "velocity" and nothing changes even if i make it 400% faster than normal. By nothing changed i mean that the timer still went forward counting seconds normally and not faster or slow. I also tried making it 0% but that didn't work either, it didn't stop. What am i doing wrong?

(everything else works completely fine and I'm doing this on Sony Vegas 17, if that helps)

You would need to add the timecode effect to your clip in the media pool. If you add it to the event on the timeline, it is showing the TIMELINE timecode, not the event timecode.

Ok, so instead of pressing the "fx" button on the clip, i right clicked on it and chose Media FX instead of Video FX and now it works! Thank you :)

You are welcome. Enjoy!

Ok, sorry to get your hopes up. Now the timer resets every 5 seconds :(. My bad, i didn't realize there was another problem...

EDIT: I set the duration of the clip to 00:00:05;00 by accident. Sooorryy!!

Yeah, it is looping. Need to make your media at least as long as you want the timecode.
