Set Timecode Node Introduction

Set Timecode inserts dynamic timecode values into the metadata table based on the FPS settings.

Inputs

The single input on the Set Timecode node is used to connect a 2D image that gets timecode added.

Background Input: The orange background input is used for the primary 2D image that is output from the node with the new timecode.


Basic Node Setup

The Set Timecode node embeds new timecode metadata into the background input (orange). The output is the background input with updated timecode.

Controls Tab

The Controls tab sets the clip’s starting timecode metadata based on FPS, hours, minutes, seconds, and frames.

FPS

You can choose from a variety of settings for frames per second.

Since this is a Fuse, you can easily adapt the settings to your needs by editing the appropriate piece of code for the buttons:

MBTNC_StretchToFit = true,


{

MBTNC_AddButton

=

"24"

},

{

MBTNC_AddButton

=

"25"

},

{

MBTNC_AddButton

=

"30"

},

{

MBTNC_AddButton

=

"48"

},

{

MBTNC_AddButton

=

"50"

},
