a clip, so you can locate the marked frame.

the Clip window) in the appropriate fields.

leave the field you aren’t using blank.
Enter the key number
or ink number for
the marked frame.
Enter the video
timecode value for
the marked frame.
Note: If you decide you want to reset the values to what they were when you opened
the clip in the window, click Revert.
5 When identifying a 3-perf 35mm clip, you must also choose the offset (3-perf•1, 3-perf•2,
or 3-perf•3) from the Film Std pop-up menu.
Note: You should not need to change the Film Std setting if you are using any of the
other film formats.

The clip’s database record is immediately updated with the values for the first frame of
