Q:Can SyncScribe correctly insert timecodes that are imbedded (burnt-in, BITC)?

Q:I can't get VLC
or Media Player Classic (MPC)
working with SyncScribe. What is wrong?
Key things to check:
- Ensure the correct media player is selected in SyncScribe under Settings->Media Player.
- Be sure the web interface is enabled for whichever player you are using. (see our reference manual for details)
- For VLC, make sure the Web Interface password is setup correctly.
- Check the ports used by either VLC(8080) or MPC(13579) are allowed by you computer's Firewall and UAC settings. If you use a managed computer, contact your system admin.
Q:Can I paste time codes in a different format from the default "mmss"?
Yes, there are many configurations for formatting timecodes. You can choose by going to the SyncScribe menu, Settings->Time Code Format.
You can select amongst various options including: delimiters, brackets, millisecond precision, framenumber, etc...
h = hours, m = minutes, s = seconds
Q:Can SyncScribe paste into multiple contiguous cells in a spreadsheet like Excel
?
Yes, use the checkbox option "Paste Into Cells" located in the SyncScribe "Options" section. This will cause SyncScribe to jump to the next available cell whenever there is a "tab key" in the inserted text. Section 12 of our reference manual shows where this option is located.
