    You can’t. Not unless you enter it in aux tc and display that instead of the timeccode. Or have had the reel number entered as part of the TC preset.

    All the best,

    Can you just rename your clips with the reel #s at the front or end of the names? The name shows up at the top the viewer and you’ll have the reel #s on the clips you edit into the timeline.
