Type a value into the KeyFrame field and press Enter to move a selected keyframe to that
timecode. If no keyframe exists at that timecode, the selected keyframe moves there. If a
keyframe already exists at that timecode, the selected keyframe replaces the existing
keyframe. You can also drag a keyframe to another keyframe to overwrite or replace that
keyframe.
For more information, see “Overwriting Keyframes” on page 215.
Timecode Preferences
The View Time menu in the General tab in the Preferences window provides three ways to
display the effect’s timecode. You can open the Preferences window by choosing Edit >
Preferences.
• Absolute Timecode – displays the timecode of the effect itself, treating the start of the
effect as 00:00:00:00.
• Absolute Frames – expresses the timecode as the number of frames starting from the
beginning of the effect.
• Program Timecode – uses the current timecode of the project in the Avid editing system
treating the start of the effect as the current timecode in the sequence.
Track Control Buttons
The left side of the timeline window contains the track controls that let you select shapes,
media, and filters for each track, and preview, hide, or lock the tracks. These controls appear
as a series of buttons in the track.
Each track can contain any number of the following controls:
• Shape Button on page 83
• Track Visibility Button on page 83
• Filter Button on page 84
• Preview Button on page 84
