Changing Timecode

You can change the start timecode of a clip for the record timecode, source timecode, or both.

If you are mixing clips that originate from formats that use different timecode, you may want to change their timecode. Use the Change Timecode tool to change the start timecode for a clip and manage source clips with different timecode formats.

To change the timecode of a clip:

1. Access the Change Timecode tool in one of the following ways:
   • From the Format menu, select Change TC/Rate, and then click Timecode.

   
   

   • In the Clip Library, click Tools, and then from the Tools box, select Change TC.
2. In the Timecode field, enter the timecode value that you want to apply to the frames of a clip.
3. Select other timecode options, such as applying to source, record, or both. See The Change Timecode Tool.
4. Do one of the following:
   • Click a clip to which you want to apply the timecode value.

     The value is incremented for each frame of the clip according to the values you set. If you are applying timecode to a clip on the desktop and you select any frame, the timecode value you entered is applied to the frame and is incremented positively forward and negatively backward for the rest of the frames of the clip.

   • If you are using the Change TC tool, select the clip to which you want to apply timecode, and then click Change.
