Use the Burn In tools to burn-in clip information
such as timecode, keycode, and frame numbers. The information appears
as text on your clip for your reference.
When mixing clips that
originate from formats with different timecode, you can burn-in
information on a clip to keep a timecode reference clip.
NoteBurn In settings
are saved from session to session. You can reset them to the factory
defaults by clicking Reset.
Burn-in the keycode data
of the clip with the Burn In tool. The burn-in ensures that keycode
data is not lost as frames progress through the work pipeline of
your Autodesk Visual Effects and Finishing application. The burn-in
can also help when going through other applications. See
Ways that Timecode and Keycode is Preserved or Destroyed.
