Ways that Timecode and Keycode is Preserved or Destroyed
Depending on how you work with a clip, the timecode
and keycode it contains can be either preserved or destroyed.
Timecode and keycode data is preserved in the
following circumstances:
- When
you edit clips in the timeline.
- When
you commit or merge layers in the timeline for a clip from a single
source.
- When
you commit or merge layers in the timeline for a single-frame virtual
clip.
- When
you load a single clip into a module and then process, the timecode
and keycode is preserved in the result clip.
- When
you load multiple clips into a module and then process, the timecode
and keycode contained in the back clip is preserved in the result
clip.
- When
you export or publish a source in the DPX format.
Timecode and keycode data is destroyed in the
following circumstances:
- When
you load multiple clips into a module, the result clip inherits
the timecode and keycode of the back clip. Timecode and keycode
for clips other than the back clip is destroyed.
- When you load a clip into Batch, its keycode
is disregarded. Any results processed from Batch do not have keycode.
- When
you edit a clip and export as a DPX file.
TipIf you are using Clip History, you can retrieve
timecode and keycode data from the original source clips.
