How does InqScribe set time codes?
InqScribe calculates time code based on the elapsed time of the media file you’re playing. (If you need a non-zero start time, you can set it manually in the Select Media dialog.) Starting with InqScribe 2.0 (due out shortly), InqScribe will be able to read two kinds of digital media files that contain their own time code information: 1. Quicktime movies that have their own time code track. Footage imported into Final Cut Pro, for example, has such time code tracks. 2. BWF WAV audio files. In both cases, all InqScribe 2.0 does is pull out the start time information (and the time code format – NTSC, PAL etc. – if it is available). InqScribe still uses elapsed time to calculate the current time code. If you have a specific time code format you’d like us to support, let us know.
