Search TipsAddTimeCode
Adds a time code to the metadata passed down from an input node. The default settings add the time code 01:00:00:00 to the first frame. This time code is updated throughout the frame range according to the input clip’s playback speed, which in turn is controlled by the fps (frames per second) control in the Project Settings. If you change the fps value in the Project Settings, the time code in the metadata is updated to reflect the change.
