Changing Frame Code Mode
 
 
 

The Frame Code Mode tool allows you to select the framerate and drop frame mode for your clip. You can convert the framerate and drop frame mode on the video and the audio clip. However, when you convert a clip's rate, it's playback speed can be affected (both video and audio). And changing the framerate of a clip deletes every associated Deliverable.

Also, if you change the frame code mode of a clip, timewarps will automatically be applied to the audio or video tracks to maintain the audio and video sync.

To change the frame code mode of a clip:

  1. Access the Change Timecode tool in one of the following ways:
    • From the A/V Tools box, select Timecode, and then click Convert Rate.
