Take advantage of the timecode plugin available in the Illusion FX category of Avid Effects. If you would like to have timecode of the sequence displayed on the playback, create a new video track, and apply the effect to it. Avid Xpress systems will require the user to add an edit to the track in order to apply the effect to the filler track. This will display the sequence timecode over the video. If you would like the timecode to display for each individual clip in the sequence, the effect must be applied to each clip separately. Note: The timecode plugin is a Non-Real-Time effect and will need to be rendered in order to play back.

Is there any possibility to reverse the timecode (in AVID Xpress Pro HD 5.2.1.), counting down to zero?

Thanks a lot!

Not with the current Plug-in.

You could create a green background, super the BITC, mixdown, reverse, chromakey.

Hi,

In addition to Job's excellent suggestion, you could also lay in the timecode effect, mixdown, reverse and PiP. 

good luck,
Carl

Agreed, Carl, but that is assuming a TC window with a solid background, rather than just the counter. Although you could luma key that in combination with the PIP.

 Is it possible to make the window and font bigger than what is available in the FX Parameter drop down menu? I am working with DNxHD 145 media (including FX media creation) and after rendering the window is so small it is unreadable. I just updated my profile--am now using MC 2.8.1 and have added 2 raid-striped internal drives to my system.

I believe the RT TC effect included in v3.0 allows you to change font style and size.

That is correct.  It has effects controls similar to Title Tool
