If you want to capture different material than what appears in the EDL, you can slip or trim the edits to specify the correct material for your final assembly. You can change any source or record timecode in the EDL.

You can also edit timecode in the Tape List.

To edit timecode:

  1. Do one of the following:
    Use: To:
    Shift-drag Jump by seconds.
    Ctrl-drag Jump by minutes.
    Alt-drag Jump by hours.
    NoteOther entries in the same edit affected by your modifications become highlighted as you edit an entry.

Editing Tape List Timecode

In Tape List view, you can slip all the start timecode values for a given tape. This is useful when you need to modify the start timecode of a tape that is used in multiple EDLs, because you edit the value only once.

To slip the start timecode value for a given tape:

  1. In the Import EDL menu, from the Display group, enable View Tape List.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Click the start timecode entry you want to modify and drag right to increase the value or drag left to decrease the value. You can use hot keys to change the values in varying increments.
    Use: To:
    Shift-drag Jump by seconds.
    Ctrl-drag Jump by minutes.
    Alt-drag Jump by hours.
    • Click the start timecode entry you want to modify to get the calculator, then enter a new timecode. See Calculating Timecode.
