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.

Good evening,
you are absolutely right...
"Why not continue with Resolve since everything is already perfectly synchronized, that it is free (or "hardly paid"), very complete, extremely stable and completely efficient ?"After Effect will no longer be able to make a difference for very long compared to all these advantages and arguments (especially for individuals and small structures).
Even Photoshop could then be called into question eventually ...
It is not too late to correct the situation BUT:
- the more the days go by,
- less Adobe understands and implements the functionality,
- the more the use of Resolve will be necessary and practiced,
- the less the need to continue with this software suite will be real(especially if the editing ends with a serious calibration and therefore also with Resolve whose "collaboration" part, in addition to the "sound mixing", is impressive for so little money).
Adobe MUST move on and implement this functionality perfectly in all existing versions available ...
They cannot wait for a "major release".
This is no longer possible ! -

I can see customers being lost by this! People are recommending to use Resolve to do this and then come back to Premiere? One has to wonder, why not just stay in Resolve once everything is synced there anyways.
Can someone take a look at this and provide a status? It's becoming more and more important I believe.

Good evening,
Do you have any idea when this feature that is so important to everyone will finally work in Adobe Premiere (and in which version even)?It's incredible (sad to be very polite) that Audio TimeCode's generator and synchronizer vendors recommend using a free, and moreover quite complete, post-production software to perform this kind of task before coming to edit it in your solution...
How long do you think that by using Davinci Resolve to generate the synchro, we won't also do the rest of the work there ?
Honestly, it's become totally unacceptable to have to pay for a post-production software which is not even able to synchronize ONLY videos and audios on TimeCode (it's not enough to put the title, the box, the check mark of the function in the interface for us to be delighted...). It has to work!For the moment, here's what we can read as a tip to get there: https://nanolockit.com/en/tutorials/adobe-premiere-pro/
It is high time to provide THE internal solution to the product you rent!
Your eco-system "speaks" to us... Hear us and act when we explain that it is URGENT and necessary right away.
Thank you.NB : Davinci Resolve "free" are not enough for the Broadcaster that use 50i and specific codec !

Yes please - 3rd party required for an extra external step is extremely cumbersome

I'm buying the LTC convert now because I have atomX sync and ultrasync one eco system, but I can see this being super needed from more and more filmmakers in the near future. Workflow is super important for us

Please allow PP CC to read LTC (audio track) timecode and use them in the syncing feature.

Yes please - with the increase in home based recording and multi cam setup, this feature would be a welcome addition to PP.

Please just fix this problem. Compared to all the other features you'Re churning out, this seems really doable. I really don't want to rely on third party software or something fcp7 did out of the box, as do all other serious NLEs!

Here is the feature list from LTC Convert (we pretty much either have to use it or Tentacle Sync):
1) It decodes LTC if present on one of the audio channels.
2) It can merge BWF files with QT video, based on source or AUX tc tracks. (And of course the
BWF TC)
3) Option to export PP / FCP XML of synced clips
4) Option to re-wrap clips to Quicktime, if needed with external audio
5) Option to export to ProRes, if needed with external audio
6) Option to alter the TC of the original QT's
7) Option to alter corresponding BWF files so their timestamp matches source TC instead of
audio TC
8) Batch processing of multiple clips -

PLEASE ADD THIS!!! Yes Resolve and Media Composer already do this. It is more common to be on set with camera's that don't have TC built in (the kind you can jam TC into), so LTC has really taken off to solve that problem. Solutions from Tentacle (Sync and Sync E) and TCS/Atomos (UltraSync One), etc; are bringing TC via LTC on one channel of the audio track into camera's that in the past didn't have sync'able TC.
But we have to process that externally in LTC Convert or Tentacles Sync software -

Yep, I use Resolve to do this step too. Technically speaking, doing this should be very straightforward and much easier to process than their wave form based sync.

Trying to refine my workflow as much as possible. Everytime I turn around, it seems like Davinci Resolve is ahead on things like this? -

It would be super great if we could just select our clip(s) > Modify > Timecode > LTC
And bada-bing bada-boom, sync'd!!Looking at getting a couple of UltraSync ONEs from Timecode Systems, but it's disappointing to see that Premiere Pro would simply be unable to interpret the data on it's own!!

J'approuve totalement!

I didn't know they couldn't do this. That's a shame, I don't come across it very often but it's a great way of doing things.

Peter Delahunty, adobe just added /Sound timecode/ into their multi-camera menu. It is still not working properly but it is very nice that they listen to us and they added this feature finally in this release.

I absolutely need this feature for working with multiple non timecode capable cameras. I currently have to use 3rd party software to create xml's which import as timelines and this is less than acceptable. Adobe needs to focus more on the basics of professional workflows rather than endlessly adding shiny gadgets.

This is my problem too. My audio recorder produce the master timecode, and I send it to an audio track of cams without TC-Input (eg. Sony FS5 / FS7, all DSLRs).
@Antoine: The Timecode-LTC is a "bizzz" sound on the audio track. This has to be convert to meta data of the video file. Then it is easy to sync video files with the audio master TC via timecode.
It would be a great benefit and time saver to have this inside Premiere Pro and not only by extern software! -

Mr. Premiere lacks Linear timecode for his multiple camera setup but it's Avid that Mr. Davinci did Resolve his problems with Linear timecode workflow. Very Smart is Mr. Davinci! Now you can premiere your work and its pretty Avid that your workflow is much more Resolved.

Ok, attaching it doesnt work. Lets try it like this.
