[ANSWERED] Timecode Question

craigw

Hi,working with TC, I want to be able to display time back out of a clip.

The movie player has play start time, play length time and position. I don't know how to get the Play Length to a calc actor to subtract is from the position.

OK, I gave this a whirl. Let see if I understood what you wanted correctly.

The above will provide the Timecode for any Percentage position for a defined media item (video only).

Requires:

Media Index (as listed in media bin)
framerate of media (enter manually, or get it from timecode)
% position you want as timecode. 100% provides the END time.

Here is the User Actor

I'm using 3.08 Looks like you saved it in a newer version and I can't open it.

Damn... you are right, I used the latest beta. Sorry about that.

I'm in the middle of a few tasks right now, so I don't have time to rebuild it this moment.
Here is the guts of it.

I will recreate this in 3.0.8 later and post it. I think it may be useful to others.

No Problem, Thanks

OK this one should work for you.

You need to enter the frame rate manually (the other uses a new actor)
