Time code burn in disappears in my timeline
 
Hello peers,
I have been editing a few projects in Premiere CS6 and sending the drafts to my client with a burn-in timecode for review. As of late, any projects that I've used the burn-in timecode have a problem where the burn-in time code disappears(all the numbers) leaving only the 'field symbol' floating there like a space egg.
The process I use to add the burn-in time code is:

- create an 'adjustment layer' > stretch it the length of the entire time line > add 'timecode' from effect panel.

It has worked fine until one day I open the projects and the time-code is gone, I've seen only a couple of forum lines elsewhere mentioning the problem with CS5, that is a bug, etc...No solution.

I'm editing on a iMac late 2012 3.4Ghz through an external HD.

Thank you in advance for any leads!

Don't use an adjustment layer, create a new "Transparent Video" and add the timecode effect to that.

I tried the transparent video also, totally bugged!

OK. This sounds like a display issue to me.

Do you have Mercury Playback Engine enabled? If so, what happens if you disable it, so you're working in software only mode?
Do you have the latest version of your display drivers installed? If not, then you should update them.

You have updated your CS6 to CS6.03 haven't you?

Mark, first of all, thank you for taking the time to help me.
You hit the nail!! I open my projects on my laptop which is NOT Mercury Engine'd and burn-in time code is there! Outstanding deduction from your part.
Now, back to my iMac, I looked in the Nvidia page and the drive updates do not include a Mac version, even though my drive is on the list (GeForce 680MX), but drive updates are for Windows to Linux (!?!?).
My CS6 version is 6.0.2.
