Thanks again Paul, A few more tests and got it working You were right about the double backslashes. At that point the period before the frame is not necessary. Frames are fine, so "timecode=01\\:45\\:20\\:13 did the trick." The final code that worked: ffmpeg -i ~/Downloads/TcTest.mxf \ -vf 'drawtext=fontsize=15:fontfile=/Library/Fonts/DroidSansMono-webfont.ttf:timecode=01\\:45\\:20\\:13:rate=23.976:fontsize=24:fontcolor=white:x=860:y=960' \ ~/Downloads/TcTest-Burns.mxf Thanks for your help!!!
