  • Changing ‘Media Start’ timecode…

    Posted by Damon Hoydysh on November 15, 2006 at 5:34 pm

    I logged a bunch of clips and for whatever reason, they all have the wrong ‘Media Start’ timecode. Is there a way to set the ‘Media Start’ time of a clip to zero? I believe I’ve done this before, but I’ve searched everywhere, but haven’t found anything on how to do it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Modify>Timecode. You can change either the real TC on the QuickTime file or add an auxiliary TC.

    All the best,

    Hightlight clip in Timeline/browser. Navigate to MODIFY/TIMECODE. Frame to Set should be on FIRST – Change the information in the timecode windows. I would check AUX TC 1 and paste the orginal timecode from SOURCE TC into this box FIRST, that way it’s there if you need to change it back.

    And to note… modifying timecode is in the Manual – You just look up…. Timecode.
