How to Display Quicktime TC
In movie production, a video's TC is the timecode. This code is included as part of the video file and provides information such as the frame number or time of recording. Quicktime is an application included in Mac OS X. It allows users to view and convert videos and can also be used for minor editing. Quicktime version 7.1.6 added a feature that allows users to view the timecode of a video instead of the running time counter or the frame number. In order for Quicktime to display a timecode, the video file itself must contain that information.
