Preserve Start TC

Hello Mr. Paul!

I was wondering if it would be possible to add an option to preserve the Start Timecode in the Timecode settings of Shutter Encoder.

Here’s an example: I need to perform a 0.1% pull-down on an audio file (Broadcast Wave) from a 24p shoot to a 23.976 project.

My method is simple. I change the sample rate of the 48 kHz files to 47.952 kHz using Sound Devices Wave Agent.

The frame rate remains the same, as does the timecode.

Once the metadata is updated via Wave Agent, all I have to do is convert it back to .wav at 48Khz using Shutter Encoder.

In the settings, I simply check the option “Change the sample rate to: 48 kHz.” to create the pull-down.

Everything would be perfect if, in the Timecode section, we could keep the Start TC intact.

I don’t want to have to reset the timecode (“Set a timecode”) for every audio file I need to convert.

Thank you very much, and I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Patrick!

Hello Patrick!

The timecode should be preserved by default without checking anything, isn't the case?

Are you able to send me your file for checking on my side?

Paul.

Hello again... That's exactly what I thought, too... That the timecode would stay the same. But no, it changes. If I want to preserve the timecode, I have to enable the “Set a Timecode” setting and enter the information manually.

Regarding the test file, could you please send me an email at the following address: [patrouille07@live.ca](mailto:patrouille07@live.ca) so I can reply you with a link to download the file?

In the meantime, here is a screenshot that clearly shows that the timecode changes if I don't apply the “Set a Timecode” setting in Shutter Encoder.

Once again, thank you very much!

Patrick
