[HELP] Maintaining timecode with ProRes

[whatsarobinson]

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
