Important: Clip time does not accurately reflect timecode that matches back to the
media file or videotape timecode. Do not rely on clip time when trying to refer back to
original media files or tapes.
Changing Global Timecode Display Options
Timecode display settings can be globally adjusted for an entire project. For most
situations, it’s best to stick with the Final Cut Pro default settings:
 Timecode: Source Time
 View Native Speed: Enabled
Note: If you customize a particular clip’s timecode display, its display option overrides
the global timecode display option. Affiliate clips are not affected when you change
the timecode display of a master or other affiliate clip.
To choose default timecode display options for the active project:
1 In the Browser, click the tab of the project for which you want to change timecode
display settings.
2 Choose Edit > Project Properties.
3 Choose a new timecode display from the Time Display pop-up menu.
4 Click OK.
To reset the timecode display for all clips in the active project:
1 In the Browser, click the tab of the project for which you want to change timecode
display settings.
2 Choose Edit > Project Properties.
3 Choose a timecode display from the Time Display pop-up menu.
4 Select the Reset Time Display checkbox.
5 Click OK.
