(Quicktime does show the timecode in the original.

However, when I open it in Quicktime, I do not get timecode. mp4 file in Adobe Premiere, I see Timecode.

Then, maybe, preserve a header? ffmpeg -y -i input.mov -flags global_header output.mp4 Then I tried to preserve metadata: ffmpeg -y -i input.mov -map_metadata 0 output.mp4 I started with a very simple command line: ffmpeg -y -i input.mov output.mp4 I've looked at many posts from around the web and specifically:įfmpeg Cut a media preserving all streams but also all metadata, timecodes and everything elseįfmpeg: preserve timecode when converting mp4 to mov The hitch seems to be that I also need to preserve the timecode.
