Maintaining timecode with ProRes - whatsarobinson - 16.12.2021

Hi, I have ProRes 422 HQ media that I'm deinterlacing and upscaling using Vapoursynth. However, I'm noticing the timecode metadata is discarded everytime. I can use "Add timecode" to add it back, but then I can't batch multiple clips with different timecodes. Is it possible to auto detect timecode and then maintain it throughout the pipeline?

I'm using the current version of Hybrid - 2021.12.12.1 - on MacOS Mojave

Thank you

Hmm,... I think at least ffmpeg (not sure about MediaInfo) should show the timecode info.
So in theory I could read the info during the analysis and then add an option to adjust the time code to the input time code.

Since I'm quite busy in real life atm. and I'll mainly offline for the next week or so, I won't get around to add this.
But I might find some time next Thursday.
If you could:
a. share two short sample of files with different time codes
and
b. remind me about it next Wednesday by posting in this thread (I'll get an email notification).
I'll try to implement it then. (should be easy)

Thank you for the quick response! I completely understand as it is the holiday season.

Here's a dropbox link to two sample files - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dcolu3480gcro8k/AACPGzvTwLXAUDZbiSve6I0Ma?dl=0

I will reply with a reminder on Wednesday
