Reading burned-in timecode (Mac OS only)
While capturing, Premiere can read timecode from a window dub using optical character
recognition.
When timecode only exists on a tape as a window dub (left), Premiere can read it
so you can use it for editing (right).
To set up the Timecode Decoder:
1 Make sure the Capture window is open, and choose Movie Capture > Timecode Decoder.
2 Press the Play button on the deck to start the tape. The video plays in the Timecode Decoder
Setup window.
