Generate MIDI Timecode

From the Options menu, choose Timecode, and choose Generate MIDI Timecode from the submenu if you want to generate MIDI timecode (MTC) when you click Play .

MIDI timecode (MTC) is a standard timecode that most applications and some hardware devices will use to synchronize themselves.

Generating MIDI timecode

  1. Specify a MIDI Output device to which you will send the timecode and a Frame rate for the timecode. These options can be found on the Sync page of the Preferences dialog. For more information, see Sync Tab

  2. From the Options menu, choose Timecode, and choose Generate MIDI Timecode from the submenu.

    VEGAS Pro will generate MTC starting wherever you click Play .

Viewing outgoing timecode

To view the outgoing timecode, right-click the Time Display and choose MIDI Timecode Out from the shortcut menu. The text will now display the outgoing MTC time.
