LTC Time Code
We need the ability to read the Timecode when recording audio LTC timecode to the file. Currently I have to use davinci Resolve to read the code. AVID already has this capability.

Why does Premier not have this? Just invested in a TC sync solution with LTC for the sound desk only to find that Adobe cant support it! kind of defeats the object.

Would love this feature as working on theatrical doco shot mostly on 6K with sony venice but occasionally using FX3 for underwater and surface water shots of swimmers where conversation needs to be gathered. LTC is being recorded on Track 2 of vision to make syncing up with .wavs possible. i am having to sue a workaround in Da Vinci Resolve to continue editing in Premiere.

There is absolutely NO reason this should not be a feature in PP by now. PLEASE consider making it so!

More and more we get 2nd cam shots with LTC timecode - it is very annoying and time-consuming to first have to prepare the clips with an external program (which basically takes the LTC and overwrites the TC in the meta with it - thus changing the original files already!) - because Premiere can't do what Resolve and even AVID have been able to do for a while...

Please get this done. The lack of this feature literally inhibits what can be accomplished on set sometimes because a lot producers/editors are afraid to venture outside of Premiere Pro to deal with LTC.

4 years later : crickets at Adobe and resolve is slowly taking over, despite their inferior editing.

This is a long-overdue utility.

I’ve considered adding this support myself as I’ve worked on LTC libraries. I don’t understand how to implement this though with Adobes plug-in architecture

Seriously. just make premiere like resolve ( right click on file in media pool >>> update timecode from audio track )
the Tentacle sync devices are AWESOME but I'm forced to use either their sync software or go through resolve. we LOVE premiere and we want to STAY in premiere.

This is really needed. Adobe need to keep up with things like this.

I'm film/TV location sound and since the Canon 5D 'revolution' there has a been a heavy use of DSLR cameras in many corporate and even news productions. Even when there is a standard camera like a Sony FX7 or FX9 being used that can read LTC it's very common for the cameraman to have something like a Sony A7S for gimbled tracking shots (and because they have one then they often use it for random inserts too or anything that improves the shoot because then they get to charge rental for it, fair play). The critical problem is DSLRs only have a minijack input for audio input and thus only can take audio TC.
Slating on docs just isn't practical and good solid time-of-day timecode is king however without a way to read it in the video software I've often had confused and desperate calls from production. And what do I tell them? Just use Blackmagic's Da Vinci which sorts everything with no fuss. Driving people away from your platform on a regular basis to perform a decades old performed task is just bad business and I, and many other keen users of your system, are simply baffled by its continued absence.

I mean...this is a basic needed professional feature.

This feature is an essential... Where it is ? Da Vinci Resolve ?

Yet another user who would REALLY like to not do this externally.

I second this! Since clients and teams tend to use cameras like cameras without TC PORTS, Sony Alpha’s and the like quite often, THIS has become quite an important feature. AVID and DaVinci Resolve already support this.

Too many multicam shoots with audio timecode lately, couldn't wait any longer, so I bought Resolve Studio and the speed editor TentacleSyncs in Premiere (especially on Windows) were more trouble than they were worth. Kicking myself for not switching sooner, LTC workflow is so **** quick. Adios Premiere. not that Adobe will care.

Hey guys (Adobe) ,
Is there any news on this? I mean in post production due to the use of loads of (non professional) camera's to sync all those GoPro , sony, canon .... footage. they all use timecode on an audio channel. The work arround: Tentacle, davinci is really a step to far. This is an idea of 2019 and in 2021 it is become a way bigger issue. We really starting to think to take some productions of Adobe and move to Davinci to get this done.... And i think thats not what Adobe likes, that customers start moving away. :-). If you have money: buy tentacle and integrate it :-).

Yes, add feature for PremierePro to read LTC TC on audio track! Thanks
