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

Tap the three-dot menu (⋯) at the top-right and choose Settings;
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.
