Internal time-
code
The clips show positions according to an in-
ternal timecode count. This setting also acti-
vates the timecode notation for the Edit Tool
(see section “About Timecode / Frame
Number Fields” on page 2-17).
Source TC The clips show positions according to the
timecodes provided by their file headers and
set either via the Configuration Tool or the
clip’s properties. If the clips do not provide a
source timecode of their own, no timecodes
will be displayed by the clips. However, they
can be configured to show a virtual source
timecode via their properties in the bin. Fur-
ther information about source timecode can
be found in section “Notes on Source Time-
code and Keycode” on page 2-15. This set-
ting also activates the timecode notation for
the Edit Tool (see section “About
Timecode / Frame Number Fields” on
page 2-17).
File number The clips show positions according to the
numbers of their respective image files, e.g.
the image Hollywood00231.dpx as the
starting point of a clip will be shown with
231. This setting also activates the frame
notation for the Edit Tool (see section
“About Timecode / Frame Number Fields”
on page 2-17).
