Moving Clips Numerically
When you want to move clips precisely, you can move them by entering positive or
negative timecode values.
To move an item by entering a timecode value:
1
In the Timeline, select the clip item or items you want to move.
2
Type a relative timecode value for where you want the clip to be positioned.
For example, type +48 (or simply 48) to move the item 48 frames forward. To move 48
frames backward in time, type –48. When you type a number, a Move field appears at
the top of the Timeline.
Note: Don’t click in the Current Timecode field before you do this, or you’ll move the
playhead instead.
