To create a Media Timecodes file:

Note: The specifics of the Property List Editor application as presented here only apply to the rental Mbox Extreme
versions, and not to a user’s own computer.

/Applications

folder and double-click on icon. An Untitled window will

open.

Step

2. At window, make sure the root item is selected, then click Add Child button. At Key field, enter a number

which is

library.file

number of the media file. Be sure to include leading zeros. You must use a period (.) as

the separator between folder and file numbers.

Step

3. Press [tab].

Step

4. At Value field, enter a number which is the timecode value. You must use a colon as the separator between

Hours, Minutes, Seconds, and Frames. Be sure to include leading zeros so that each element is two
characters.

Step

6. Continue adding entries by pressing Add Item button.

Step

numbers must have three digits, and the timecode values must have two digits. Incorrectly formatted values will result
in those entries being ignored.
