As they used to say on “Laugh In” in the ’60’s “You bet your bippie there is!” Just click on the picture in your right “record” monitor. A small blank box will appear. Hit the plus sign or the minus sign depending on which way you want to go, and enter the amount in frames, or seconds and frames, or minutes seconds and frames, or even hours, minutes, seconds and frames.

or while you are in the timeline, you can just type =622{enter} and that will move you 6 seconds and 22 frames without having to see the little window

Thanks guys, Thats exactly what I was looking for. Does this also work on a newscutter?

[Chaz Shukat]

I’ve never worked on newscutter so I can’t say for certain, but I can’t imagine it not having this ability, especially for a news environment where speed is of the essense.

Hi Guys

I dont know about newscutter sorry.

Regarding the typing values to jump in the timeline. The value you type in depends on whether you have the AVID set to stop on head or tail frames. For example i have mine set on head frames, so to advance exactly 5 seconds i would type + 424 (25i PAL Project). If i were to set it to stop on tail frames i would type the standard + 500.
