Timeline timecode Specifies the location of the current-time indicator within the timeline. The format of the
timecode uses semicolons (hours;minutes;seconds;frames) for NTSC projects and colons
(hours:minutes:seconds:frames) for PAL projects. You can edit the timecode to set the current time in the timeline.
Source timecode Specifies the location of the current-time indicator within the video clip (using the video clips
timecode).
Tracks Display the names of video, audio, and subtitle clips and show their locations in the timeline. Video, audio,

if it is empty), you do not need to activate a subtitle track.
