Adobe and QT timecode

**Stacey Spears** · 10-29-2007, 09:10 AM

In the AVID section there is a lot of discussion around the fact that AVID currently does not support the timecode embedded in a QT file.

Does Adobe have this limitation?

Premiere appears to handle this without a hitch.

I brought a R3D wrapped as Quicktime into Premiere Pro on my mac, and it did display the same timecode that RedAlert! was displaying for that clip.

Thank you, Graeme.

Now, as soon as RedCine and the Windows codec gets released, we can test to see if the same is true on the Windows side. I suspect that it will be.

fantastic Graeme, tell us more, how does it play back? at what resolution? What kind of hdd system do you have? Graphic card?

thanks a lot for the precious informations.

Didn't really test for playback speed - was more interested in the timecode. I'll get a final (for now) of the codec and see how it works later on though.

Seeing that Graeme is monitoring this thread, I have a hypothetical. I've just ordered (price was too good to wait for Nehalem or even PCIe 2.0) a dual-quad core (8 totoal) Xeon. Have also ordered OEM Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit operating system.

Hope to have my first RED by late Spring '08 and plan to shoot a short with it. My question is, will REDCINE be compatible with my Adobe PP3 and AE3 workflow on Windows Vista by then?

No one can be certain, but the latest word is that RedCine on Windows has a planned release by the end of November.

Fingers crossed!

Am wondering if that will just be with Windows XP or if Vista will also work? Haven't heard much from them on the Vista front:construction:

Fingers crossed that there will be no double-cross
