Viewing heads and tails?
As I’ve said before in this forum I am an experienced Final Cut user who is using Premiere on a home system. I was wandering how to display numeric heads and tails (not head and tail images). Those of you who are serious editors know the benefit of this without me having to explain it. In final cut you can put up timecode viewers in the program window and see exactly what frame you are at in your clip, as opposed to just in your timeline. This is helpful when dealing with rendered material, that is for instance from After effects or maya. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Doubleclick on the clip in the sequence and it will show up in the Source monitor with in/out points marked.
I am not aware of how FCP does it. You can overlay timecode showing Clip or Media timecode. You can also see the timecode in the Program monitor when you trim.

Neat advice, Steven. Of course, as a serious editor, jwedit might want to duplicate his work system at home to save him having to struggle with remembering two interfaces.

Mike, not sure why you are harping on this “experienced editor” thing, but I agree that isn’t a bad idea. Though I regularly work in Final Cut, Smoke, and now premiere.
