Clip source timecode on timeline
Folks,
Forgive me if this is real basic, but I did a search and couldn’t find an answer. If I create a timeline with program tc starting at 1;00;00;00, and have clips on the timeline with a different source tc, how do I reference the original tc on the timeline? For example, if I lay a clip into the show, and the producer wants to go to a specific tc from their notes, how do I get to that spot in the clip after it’s on the timeline?
Thanks,
Slim -

If you are looking to find the source timecode from your master footage you can sort the footage in your browser window using the Media Start heading. This will let you quickly scan the clips and find the timecode you are looking for.
If you know the footage well enough you could also bring the playhead over the shot you know contains the TC you are looking for, hit “F” to match frame it into the Viewer window and then either scan or type in your TC (in the Viiewer’s TC window) to find the point you are looking for.
In either case you will most likely be recutting this new footage into your timeline as there isn’t an easy way (that I know of) to slip your footage to a particular TC once it is in the timeline.
Hope it helps. From the wording in your post it is a little difficult to figure out exactlly what you are trying to ask.

Click on the viewer screen and hit the option and Z, that will turn on the timecode overlay, which will show you the timecode of your audio and video sources. You can then do the same to the canvas side. Hope it helps.
