Software to burn in timecode

Software to burn in timecode

How many times have you been sent a Quicktime movie and it hasn’t got burnt in timecode because the video editor hasn’t got time to render one out.

Well I recently came across two options to resolve this.

Toki Software’s Toki TC v1.4.1
Toki TC is an utility for displaying a time code, a feet+frames counter, a frame counter and a line of text over a movie. It has all options to control the display of the counters and text:

  • Position of the counters in the picture,
  • Set the start offset and frame rate,
  • Choice of the font and size of the text,
  • Left, center or right alignment,
  • Choice of the colors of the text and the background.

A movie can be exported with time code, counters and text to QuickTime, DV, MPEG-4, AVI and other formats.

It runs under Mac OS X Leopard and Windows Vista.

The full license is 15.90 € or $ 19.90
