Set Timecode Options

Production Start Time

Enter the production time that you want to represent in Maya. For example, if you want your Maya scene to represent a shot starting from the time code 1:32:03 of your production, enter the values 1, 32, and 3 in the hour, minute, and second fields respectively.

Frame

(Optional) Lets you specify a Production Start Time to a value that is more precise than one second.

For example, if your Production Start Time is 1 hour, 32 minutes, 3 seconds, and one half second, and the current frame rate in Maya is 30 fps, you can specify this exact Production Start Time by entering 1, 32, and 3 in the Production Start Time fields, and entering 15 in the Frame field. Entering frame 15 specifies the equivalent of one half second at the current frame rate.

Maya Start Frame

Enter the frame in your Maya scene where you want the timecode to start.
