Setting Timecode
To generate timecode:

the Timecode format.
2. Adjust the Start Hours, Start Minutes, Start Seconds, and Start Frames parameters to set
the appropriate timecode.
3. Set Scramble Letters to randomly vary the numbers from frame to frame.
For detailed information on the Generator tab parameters, see “Generator Tab Parameters”
on page 469.
Mapping Media to Text
You can map media to the face(s) of text or to the text backdrop. If you are using text media
with the 3D Plane or 3D Line Art shapes, you’ll need to create a Texture track in the timeline
before mapping media to the text. The texture track maps a still image, video file, color,
gradient or natural media to Text, Spline Object and Spline Primitive media.
To create a Texture track:
• Click the Texture Track icon at the bottom of the Controls window.
