For details, tutorials, and resources about source timecode and Timecode effect changes in After Effects CS5.5, see this post on the After Effects

Display Format Specifies whether timecode is displayed in the SMPTE format, in frame numbers, or in feet and frames of 35mm or 16mm film.
Time Source (CS5.5 and later) The source used for the effect.
Layer Source Timecode is displayed according to the timecode from the source footage of the layer.

displayed by the Timecode effect; it has no influence on composition frame rate or the frame rate of the source footage item for the layer.
Drop Frame Select Drop Frame to generate drop-frame timecode or deselect it to generate non-drop-frame timecode.
Starting Frame The frame number assigned to the first frame of the layer.

Alternatives to using the Timecode effect
Use text layers for greater control over text formatting and text animation. (See Creating and editing text layers.)
Apply the Current Time Format animation preset to a text layer to show the current time in the format corresponding to the time display setting
for the project.
Colin Braley provides a tutorial and example project on his website that show how to use an expression on the Source Text property to animate
text to overcome some of the limitations of the Timecode effect.
For a similar example, see Example: Animate text as a timecode display.
