Working With Timecode in the Viewer and Canvas
Two fields display timecode in the Viewer and Canvas: Timecode Duration and
Current Timecode.
 Timecode Duration field: This field shows the current duration between the clip In
and Out points. You can change the duration here, which automatically adjusts the
the clip Out point.
 Current Timecode field: This field displays the timecode of the frame at the current
position of the playhead. You can enter absolute or relative timecode numbers here
to navigate to a new position in the clip.
Note: Clicking the icon to the left of each field highlights the entire field so you can
enter new numbers.
Navigating With Timecode in the Viewer and Canvas
You can move the playhead around in a clip or sequence by entering a new timecode
number in the Current Timecode field.
 To move to a particular frame in your clip or sequence, enter a complete (or
absolute) timecode number.
 To move the playhead forward or backward a precise number of hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames from the current position, you enter a relative number.
 To move the playhead relative to its current position, type a minus (–) or a plus (+)
and the timecode value outside the Current Timecode field.
