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 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.
