How to Enter Timecode Values
When entering timecode, type each pair of hour, minute, second, and frame values from left to
right, with a period representing a pair of zeros for fast entry. The numbers you enter appear in
the Timecode field at the upper left-hand corner of the Viewer with focus. When you’re finished
typing, press the Return key to execute the Timecode command. The rules for timecode entry
are as follows:
The rightmost pair of timecode values (or period) you enter is always the frame number.
A period to the left or to the right of any number you type is considered to be a pair of
zeroes.
A single period between two numbers is considered to either be a single zero or
ignored if it’s between two pairs of numbers.
Any untyped pairs of values to the left of what you enter are assumed to be whatever
those values were prior to the timecode you entered; this makes it easy to type partial
timecode values even when the Timeline starts at hour one.
It’s not necessary to enter colons or semicolons.
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 15 01:10:10:15
01:10:10:10 12 01:10:10:12
01:10:10:10 1.2 01:10:01:02
01:10:10:10 115.. 01:15:00:00
01:10:10:10 23... 23:00:00:00
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:
+20. 00:00:20:00 is added to the current timecode value.
-5 00:00:00:05 is subtracted from the current timecode value.
