Look, this is really frustrating. Timecode effect applied to any clip produce some random TC on screen. Effect is totally unusable
What i found out:
- this issue somehow depends on project, clip and sequence FPS. I've got the most frustrating results on a 24 fps (project, sequence and clips)
- Premiere 2018 and 2019 - both have this issue, but in 2019 it's even more severe.
- Timecode overlay tab in Export window produce a timecode, which is not in sync neither with sequence TC, generate TC preset and clip TC
- This issue is likely produced by wrong math in programming.
When I apply the Timecode effect to a clip in sequence, it displays timecode with a random shift.
I have 24fps project, 24fps clip and 24fps on sequence.
My aim was to have on-screen timecode starting from 00:00:00:00. Apparently, 'Generate' and 'Media' presets produced wrong results.
In the end to have it right, I set 'Starting timecode' to 22:04:47:01 and frame rate to 25. Which resulted in 00:00:00:00 on screen (see screenshot).
Basically my question is WHY??
Am i the only one who face this issue?
