Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1

Once you have a sequence assembled, click the timecode value, type a new time, and press "Enter."

Step2

You can use any of the following shortcuts when entering timecode. Leave out leading zeros. For example, if you type in "0;0;20;5" it automatically becomes "00;00;20;05."

Step3

Leave out semicolons. You can type “1213” and it will become "00;00;12;13."

Step4

If you include a plus sign (+) or minus sign (–) before a number, it will move the current-time indicator ahead or back a specified number of frames. If you type in "+55," it will move the current-time indicator ahead 55 frames.

Step5

Position the Selection tool over the timecode value and drag to the left or right. The farther you drag in either direction, the quicker the timecode will change
