Using Timecode to Find a Frame
At any time during editing you can type timecode values, using the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard, to cue a loaded clip or sequence to a specific frame. In addition, you can cue backward or forward from the current location in the clip or sequence by a specified number of minutes and seconds plus frames using positive or negative frame-offset values.
The system interprets the numbers you type with the numeric keypad according to the type of tracking format you have chosen in the row of information displayed above the monitor.
To cue to a frame based on a known timecode:
| 1. | |
Type the timecode for the frame using the numeric keypad on the right
side of the keyboard.
|
| 2. | |
Use one of these formats:
|
| – |
|
SMPTE timecode: Use two digits each for the hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames with no leading zeros. For example, type
1230200 to enter 01;23;02;00.
|
| – |
|
Current timecode: If you are finding a timecode that starts at the
same time as the current timecode, just type the last digits. For
example, if the current timecode is 1;05;12;13 and you type 4;25,
the system finds the frame at 1;05;04;25.

| 3. | |
Press Enter on the numeric keypad.
