| What I meant by “manually” was the setting in the timecode effect, not the comp. Try this: 1) Create new composition, 30fps 2) Apply solid 3) Apply timecode effect to solid (under “text”) 4) Change “time source” to custom, the default is 30 5) Click on the “drop frame” option, the time units changes to 29.97 and the colons change to semi-colons. You will now have two frames - 1000 & 1001 - that both show “00;00;33;09 -Chris > On 8 Sep 2017, at 10:58 am, StanMtn on ATT <AE-List@media-motion.tv> wrote: > > I couldn't repeat this.

Go back to comp settings, change to 29.97, get drop frame, type in 30 as frame rate. It shows 30 with drop frame.

I created a new comp @ 30fps, applied the timecode effect to a solid, and then chose “drop frame” (which I had to do manually, the default is non-drop-frame). Voila!
