Timecode Generator

Is there a timecode user definable generator like the one ALex4D made that works in a 25fps timeline? I need to be able to define the tc start, or at least drop it on an adjustment layer and start it at 0 from there. So its not reading from the clip ...

Thanks for any help.

The stock TC generator in FCP X reads the project TC, not the clip's

You can set its starting TC to about anything by selecting the project in the browser and in the Inspector clicking on Modify Settings.

Hi, I want to burn the timecode for my project for output to QuickTime so that an audio guy can see the timecode.

I shot in 29.97 fps and have been editing in drop frame.
I placed the Generator Timecode above my picture and stretched it from beginning to end of the project.

1. The Generator timecode is producing non-drop frame timcode, so it's getting off by 2 frames every minute. How do I make it produce drop-frame timcode?

2. Is there a way to burn timecode below or above the picture and not on top of it?

I am using FCPX 10.0.9

This generator is total garbage!

You can try this:
In the generator settings set the Timecode Base to 60.

To get the TC below the video you have to scale down the video and it up so both the full video and the TC is visible.

Or "Send To Compressor" and use it's Timecode overlay filter. But yes, a realistic timecode reader/generator is desperately needed.
