hand-entered Dropframe TimeCode?

[Chris Harlan]

Hey all!

I’m trying to modify timecode on a clip, which works, but I seem to have no way to specify Drop frame or NDF? Am I missing something? Or is this a bug?

What is the frame rate of the footage? 23.976, for example, only exists as NDF. Have you tried entering the TC using a colon vs a semi colon?

Lol. Well, of course, you whippersnapper. I’ve been using TC afore you was born. No, the semicolon doesn’t take. It was the first thing I tried. I’m trying to match some window burn which is NDF, and the modify command only seems conscious of DF. Also, I can only enter TC for first frame, even though there is a checkbox for current frame. The checkbox is grayed out.

My guess is that Modify TC is currently sort of non-functional, but I’m checking around before I enter a report. Anybody have different experiences?

Hey, sometimes people over look the obvious answer (ex. I recently fixed a friend’s ‘malfunctioning’ speaker by re-seating the audio cable).

You might be right about the feature being half baked.

I’m pretty certain that not all codecs are supported by this feature.
