Changing Global Timecode Display Options

Timecode display settings can be globally adjusted for an entire project. For most
situations, it’s best to stick with the Final Cut Pro default settings:

 Timecode: Source Time
 View Native Speed: Enabled

Note: If you customize a particular clip’s timecode display, its display option overrides
the global timecode display option. Affiliate clips are not affected when you change
the timecode display of a master or other affiliate clip.

To choose default timecode display options for the active project:

1

In the Browser, click the tab of the project for which you want to change timecode
display settings.

2

Choose Edit > Project Properties.

3

Choose a new timecode display from the Time Display pop-up menu.

4

Click OK.

To reset the timecode display for all clips in the active project:

1

In the Browser, click the tab of the project for which you want to change timecode
display settings.

2

Choose Edit > Project Properties.

3

Choose a timecode display from the Time Display pop-up menu.

4

Select the Reset Time Display checkbox.

5

Click OK.
