jonathan hell Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Hi, I would like to know how to display the time code of a song in full screen on my iphone/ipad/ or macbook... So I can use it to shoot a videoclip. I did that before but it wasn't my device. Any idea ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Munro Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Hi Jonathan, do you need it for sync purposes or is it purely for aesthetics (i.e. to be used diegetically?) SteveMunro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan hell Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hi Steve, Actually, it was just a way to display the time code of the song played in the speaker during a videoclip. So it was not really sync (I don't know if there is a solution now like an iphone slate that can be sync... I saw many "slate" app but none of them seems to be able to send a timecode via the jack...So I don't really know) well, it's for sync purpose... I saw it once on a macbook...

Hi Jonathan, Movie Slate will sync and I use it on my Ipad : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id320315888?mt=8 I'm a bit confused though because the first bit of your post suggests timecode being used aesthetically (i.e. in your video clip)... is that a look you're after? You'll have to pay extra for the timecode sync part of Movie Slate but it is a great resource to have for an iPad. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory Hanrahan Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Try this: • Create an AV file in your NLE including the song and generated TC. Be sure to add 10 seconds or so of pre-roll (with countdown) so that the song/tc doesn't start the instant you hit play. • Load this file into iTunes or some playback app on your iThing • Use a wireless mic system -- transmitter on the iThing, receiver on your playback system -- to broadcast the audio. • Simply start/stop the playback from the iThing, making sure to film a few frames of the TC displayed on-screen. There you go -- very easy, very cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
