BigTime
BigTime is a resizable floating timecode window for Final Cut Pro 5, 6 or 7 that displays the current source or sequence timecode.
The bigger picture:
BigTime's main HUD window can be freely resized and moved anywhere on screen giving you maximum flexibility within your workspace. You can enable or disable frames in the timecode display and can even customise the appearance of the window to make it stand out just the way you want.
Over the top:
Digital Cinema Desktop Preview is a useful feature within Final Cut Pro for seeing the Viewer or Canvas output full screen. BigTime now offers the ability to view a customisable timecode overlay on this display, a feature not available within Final Cut Pro until now.
New tricks:
BigTime can now automatically launch and quit alongside Final Cut Pro and retains its timecode connection after initial set up. New preferences offer comprehensive customisation of both the HUD window and the DCDP overlay. These include the ability to set opacity, text color, background color, position, and a choice of two different text styles for each display.
- [FIX] Fixed issue with BigTime Helper app not being installed if BigTime has not been previously installed.
- Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard or later.
- Final Cut Pro 5, 6 or 7
- BigTime uses Final Cut Pro's support (v5 or later) for MIDI control surfaces. A MIDI interface is not required to use BigTime on its own. If you already use a MIDI control surface with Final Cut Pro, then it is possible to add BigTime to your setup using a free 3rd party utility as detailed in the manual.
- Final Cut Pro only allows connection to one control surface type at a time, so it is not possible to use BigTime simultaneously with a Euphonix control surface.
