you can also set it in preferences, so it always starts at 00:00

The standard comes from when film was used for movies. All film contains a bit of “lead in” film that is used to spool the film into the spools and it also contains information to help the projectionist. If the film started at time code 0:00:00:00 the lead in would have a negative time code which is hard to manage. So instead they decided that the start of the movie will be at time code 1:00:00:00 and time before that will be for the lead in.

For Feature Films we have a 10 second count down with tone before the film at 00:59:50:00. Then the movie starts at 01:00:00:00 so the timecode is consistent with picture for Audio syncing/mixing reasons. Then there is a 2 pop 2 frames at end of picture.

fast and to the point, thank you for not telling me the history of timecode first. LOVE IT.

This one sticks out from the rest. Much higher quality and a Hollywood star face talking. 🎉

01:00:00:00 Works great (for the 2nd timeline) when using multiple timelines at the same time, in the edit PG. Most of te time people just ignore the or just see if they are moving when there is BLACK in the timeline.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm going ask something that maybe can help some creators, if you think that can be important. Lately I received a lot of emails from people wanted to help my channel grow. I always deleted these emails because I'm not interested and they always talk about my gaming channel or how to complete the monetization requirements. I have to laugh because I don't have a gaming channel and monetization is already done. Maybe it's important or not.

[Trashgriffin]

Wow, thank you! This was straight to the point and I was immediately able to follow it. Awesome!

CMX editors at NBC would start timecode at 11:00:00
That way when they had to input a record machine timecode number they could hit the #1 twice and move faster.

Great comments. I would say if it's an industry standard it's probably best to acclimate yourself so it doesn't cause you issues down the road when you go to work with others.

Top example of a perfect vid title - I have commented and liked before watching the vid - I tried to work this out a couple times - cheers man

[HofTheStage]

Dude, thank you so much! That 1 annoyed me like crazy!

[nightcoderk]

I'm learning something new every day. Thank you so much!

[MatthewDoebler]

I can’t tell you why timecode always starts at 1 hour, but it’s been that way as far back as the videotape days when I was in TV school back in the 90s.

When I right click my timeline it doesn't give me the timelines option.

[ThisBytesForYou]

Then is that something you need to do each time?

[Puggeoff]

Thanks boss! this annoyed me to no end

[pgplay]

Why do my png photos or any photos look glitchy after any animation?
I tried to stabilize them but nothing works.

But when I did the same animation in pre-pro it looks fine and smooth.


How to fix this?
