Time Code is incorrect in pdf #1

zedsaeed commented 12 years ago

At this moment Scribbeo 2.0 is reading timecode fairly accurately. (The only time it is off is when it is Drop Frame Timecode.)

However, when the pdf is formatted from notes and comments, the timecode field in the pdf is inaccurate. Whichever container is holding the value of the current timecode, it is not passing it on to the container that the pdf formatting is using. (See emails that I am sending to Keyvan, which have the pdf that shows the issues. The pdfs show timecode from window burn that does not match what the pdf is reporting.)

I am looking into this.

Are some clips with timecode burned in available for testing purposes? I can try other sources or make some myself, but it could save time if you have some which are cleared for me to use on my laptop.

Keyvan, I have assigned this to my self.

Hi Creed,

Here is a mov file using non drop frame timecode with burn in: http://cl.ly/0F3b2C0V1Z0w

To comment, also am working on this. Some notes:

I've just attacked this problem in CAPS WebView. One of the main problems is that dropframe math is very hard to get right. Nondropframe is significantly easier. Some of the main things to understand when hacking TC math is your input variables: nSeconds, FPS, frame number, TC type and some of the magic constants used in dropframe math.. I have some JS I made that shows a significant part of the math done correctly. But maybe Apple's internal Timecode stuff just needs to be fed correctly. This is what I think is up with it.

Jon's comments are right on the mark. This issue, as I see it: When the is media annotated, it is reporting a calculated time code rather than time code captured from the media itself.
