Using Drop-Frame Timecode
In NTSC, you don't actually get 30 frames per second (fps); the real number is
about 29.97 fps. Timecode usually assumes 30 fps. To account for the
discrepancy, drop-frame timecode skips or drops two timecode values at the
beginning of every minute except every tenth minute. This allows timecode to
exactly match a real-time clock on 525/60 systems. This correction is not
needed on 625/50 systems because the frame rate is exactly 50 fps.
To set drop-frame timecode:
• Choose Options | Drop-Frame or Options | Non-Drop-Frame .
Auto Restore
Auto restore mode automatically restores operations to their state previous to a
hardware or software crash. To invoke auto restore:
• Choose Options | Auto Restore .
