Navigate using timecode
Timecode is a signal recorded with your video that uniquely identifies each video frame. When
you play a clip from the Browser, its timecode signal appears in the Dashboard, in the center of
the Final Cut Pro toolbar, using this format:

Timecode supports a variety of functions in Final Cut Pro, including Timeline playback,
synchronizing video and audio clip items, and adding, trimming, and moving clips. In addition,
timecode allows you to navigate through projects in the Timeline and see the duration of clips,
range selections, and projects.
