Newbie Question about overlay timecode in ProRes output

[vchiline]

Hey everyone...

It's embarrassing to ask, but... here goes. With my FS700 + Odyssey 7Q, I recorded my first few videos in 1080p to ProRes onto the SSD.... after downloading the clips they all have an overlay of timecode in the top right. As I'm away from the camera right now, I wanted to know, is this something that I can hide, or did I actually record with the timecode block right there?

I'm editing in Premiere Pro CC...

Thanks... err...

It seems to me like you might have the FS700 set to output the display overlays over the SDI or HDMI (whichever you used for recording). I'm not aware of an option on the 7Q to burn timecode to your footage - it only records what you send it, so odds are that it is the signal out of the camera that introduced the timecode.

So, bad news, but it sounds to me like your footage has the timecode permanently burned in.

To keep that from happening again, you'll need to go to the Menu on the FS700 and tell it to not send the display overlay over the SDI or HDMI.

In the meantime, did you happen to record the video on an SD card in the FS700 at the same time? You'd have a backup of your footage right there. It would be AVCHD, but at least it's timecode-less.
