To move the current-time indicator using timecode
❖ Click the timecode value, type a new time, and press Enter. You can use any of the following shortcuts when
entering timecode:
Omit leading zeros For example, 0;0;12;3 becomes 00;00;12;03.
Omit semicolons (NTSC) or colons (PAL) For example, 1213 becomes 00;00;12;13 for NTSC projects, and 00:00:12:13
for PAL projects.
Enter values that exceed the normal values For example, if the current-time indicator is at 00;00;12;23, and you
want to move 10 frames ahead, you can change the frame number to 00;00;12;33. The current-time indicator moves
to 00;00;13;03.
Include a plus sign (+) or minus sign (–) A plus sign or minus sign before a number moves the current-time indicator
ahead or back a specified number of frames. For example, +55 moves the current-time indicator ahead 55 frames.
Add a period A period before a number specifies an exact frame number, rather than its timecode value. For
example, .1213 moves the current-time indicator to 00;00;40;13 in an NTSC project, and to 00:00:48:13 in a PAL
project.
You can also position the Selection tool over the timecode value and drag to the left or right. The farther you drag,
the more quickly the timecode changes.
