A little more descriptive of a question might help get you the answers you are looking for. What are you trying to do?

Not quite sure what you are asking, but 2 options:
go to the flyout menu of the timeline and check Start Time.
You can set any time for the first frame.
Or use the Timecode effect.

A big company who I´m dealing a film with is asking:
“Start of feature time code location will be one hour (01:00:00:00). Start of color bars time code will be back-timed from the one hour (01:00:00:00) start of feature location.”

So I understand (correctly or not) that I must set a new time code in my timeline before exporting the edited file (to be delivered), that should be 01:00:00:00 at the first frame of my feature film.
What should I do?

Hi Ronaldo,
In the Timeline panel menu, choose Start Time, enter a starting timecode, and click OK. (The starting time must be a positive number.)

Hope that helps,
Kevin

Thank you Kevin and Ann. It worked ok!

Well, it`s weird.
The exported file didn`t keep my change in start time, despite the timeline (and the its respective project) kept it.
The exported file timeline started at 00:00:00:00 as before my change.
What`s going on?

Hello,

with Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1, is there a possibility in the export settings or profiles (PPro or AME) to force set timecode of exported medias. I’m aware it takes the timecode of sequence and it works brilliantly well. I can see in the export media dialog there is an option of “Set start timecode to 0”. Is there a way to set user defined timecodes, say 05:00 or 10:00 ? the reason I’m asking this we transcode or export around 50-100 medias everyday and we need user defined timecode setting option.

Thanks,
Muthu
