  • TC view of the original clip in the Timeline?

    Posted by Devin Crane on July 5, 2011 at 7:44 pm

    Is there anyway to view the original TC of the clip in the main storyline or timeline? We shoot long form and edit down our master linecut and need to line up B-roll to the main clip in the timeline. I was able to sync up the clips in a compound clip and lay it on top of the main timeline but would rather somehow just sync up a single angle to the main track when needed and not have to turn on and off the compound clip above the Storyline, timeline or whatever it’s called. Hopefully this makes sense.

    The clip’s start and end timecode show up in the Info tab of the inspector. If you need to get the timecode for a specific frame, use the “Open in Timeline” command. This will open the clip in its own sequence, where the main timecode viewer will show clip-based timecode.
