Does Scriptation have a timecode stamp?

Yes! You can add a Timecode stamp to any page in Scriptation.


📝 NOTE: Timecode is an Industry Pro feature.


Adding a Timecode Stamp


Tap the Timecode icon on the Annotation Toolbar. A timecode annotation is placed on the page immediately.



✅ TIP: Don't see the Timecode icon? It may be in a menu — see I can't find some of my Annotation Tools.



The timecode annotation can be moved, resized, and copied/pasted like any other annotation. Tap the Timecode icon again to add another stamp.


Adjusting What's Displayed in the Timecode


  1. Tap the three-dot menu (⋯) at the top-right and choose Settings;
  2. Open the Annotations tab and select Timecode.


From the Timecode settings:


  • Tap the color dot to open the color picker and change the text color. The field behind the text will be a lighter shade of the color you choose;
  • Choose between a 12-hour and 24-hour clock;
  • Toggle whether to show or hide the date.



📝 NOTE: The timecode annotation uses your device's clock. If it shows the wrong time or date, close Scriptation and adjust the time and date in your device's Settings.
