Here are some tips for entering timecode values:
You don’t have to enter the separator characters (colons). Final Cut Pro adds them Â
automatically after each set of two digits. For example, if you enter “01221419,”
Final Cut Pro interprets it as 01:22:14:19 (1 hour, 22 minutes, 14 seconds, and
19 frames).
If the leftmost elds are zeroes, you don’t have to enter them. For example, if Â
you enter “1419,” Final Cut Pro interprets it as 00:00:14:19. If you enter “253407,”
Final Cut Pro interprets it as 00:25:34:07.
If the rightmost elds are zeroes, you can use periods instead. For example, to move Â
to timecode 00:00:03:00, type “3.” (3 and a period). To move to 03:00:00:00, type
“3...” (3 and three periods). Instead of a period, you can also use a comma, plus sign,
minus sign, colon, semicolon, or ampersand.
Note: You can change the time display in the Dashboard to show timecode, timecode
and subframes, just frames, or just seconds. For more information, see “Editing
preferences” on page 497.
Use the Timeline Index to view, navigate, and search your project
The Timeline Index provides a text-based view of the clips and tags (various kinds of
markers and keywords) used in your project in the Timeline. You can easily lter the
Timeline Index to show only the items you want to see.
Clips are listed in their
order of appearance
in the Timeline.
You can also use the Timeline Index to navigate in the Timeline. The Timeline Index
playhead appears in the list of items. When you play a project, the playhead moves
down the list of items in the Timeline Index. When you select an item in the Timeline
Index, the playhead automatically moves to the beginning of the item.
Show or hide the Timeline Index
Click the Timeline Index button in the lower-left corner of the Final Cut Pro main m
window (or press Command-Shift-2).
