Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 568)

To move an item by entering a timecode value
1 In the Timeline, select the clip item or items you want to move.
2 Type a relative timecode value for where you want the clip to be positioned.
For example, type “+48” (or simply 48) to move the item 48 frames forward. To move
48 frames backward in time, type “–48”. When you type a number, a Move field appears
above the track. You can also type a regular timecode value to move the clip to that
location in the Timeline.
Note: Don’t click in the Current Timecode field before you do this, or you’ll move the
playhead instead.

The clip moves to the new location if there aren’t any other clip items in the way. If there
are, you see a “Clip Collision” message indicating which track had a clip that interfered
with your edit.
