Absolute Timecode Entry
Absolute timecode is entered simply by typing in a timecode value. So long as no clips or edit
points are selected when you press the Return key, the playhead will move to that timecode
value. If an edit point or clip is selected, those will be moved or trimmed to the corresponding
timecode value, if possible.
Here are some examples of absolute timecode entry using this method:
Original TC Value User-Typed Value New TC Value
01:10:10:10 15245218 15:24:52:18
01:10:10:10 2.. 01:02:00:00

01:10:10:10 1.2 01:10:01:02
01:10:10:10 1115.. 11:15:00:00
01:10:10:10 23... 23:00:00:00
Relative Timecode Entry
Relative timecode is entered by starting the timecode value with a plus (+) or minus (–). Adding
a plus results in the value you type being added to the current timecode value for purposes of
offsetting the playhead or moving a selection. Adding a minus will subtract the value you type
from the current timecode value.
Here are two examples of relative timecode entry:
User-Typed Value Result
+20. 00:00:20:00 is added to the current timecode value.
+3.. 00:03:00:00 is added to the current timecode value.
-5 00:00:00:05 is subtracted from the current timecode value.
Copy and Paste Timecode in Viewer Timecode Fields
You can right-click on most Viewer timecode fields in the Media, Edit, and Color pages to
choose Copy and Paste commands from a contextual menu for copying and pasting timecode
values. The timecode value you’re pasting must be valid timecode. For example, you can’t
paste 0 hour timecode onto a 1 hour timeline.
