Chapter 25 Working With Timecode 447

Using the Modify Timecode Command
Timecode tracks in your media files can be added, altered, and even removed in the
Modify Timecode dialog.
Each media file can have up to three timecode tracks and corresponding reel names:
 Source timecode track and reel name
 Aux 1 timecode and Aux 1 reel name
 Aux 2 timecode and Aux 2 reel name
When you select a checkbox next to a timecode track, you are adding that timecode
track to your media file. Deselecting the checkbox deletes that timecode track from
the media file.
Important: Be careful not to delete the source timecode track of your media file by
deselecting its checkbox.
Note: Some timecode rates may not be allowed for some media files. These limitations
are based on the frame rate of the media file, since some timecode rates are
unnecessary for certain video frame rates.
To modify the timecode of a clip’s media file:
1 In the Browser, select the clip or sequence with the timecode you want to change.
2 Choose Modify > Timecode.
The Modify Timecode dialog
shows all properties associated
with the selected clip or
sequence.
