Burning the timecode into output - MediaLive

Burning the timecode into output

You can set up any video encode in a MediaLive channel to burn in the output timecode. The time code will become part of the video.

Note that the timecode burnin feature is independent of the timecode metadata feature. You don't have to enable timecode metadata in order to burn in the timecode.

To burn the timecode into the video output

  1. On the Create Channel page, in the Output groups section, choose an output group, then choose an output.

  2. Display the Stream settings section, and then choose the Video section. In Codec settings, choose the codec for this video encode. More fields appear.

  3. Choose Timecode, then in Timecode burn-in settings, choose Timecode burnin. More fields appear.

  4. Set the style and position of the timecode in the video frame. In the optional Prefix field, enter any descriptor. For example, UTC-1.
