    I used to be able to option drag the timecode from the timeline into the edit to tape window, etc. It seems like this no longer works. Any clues?

    It works for me. You have to hold the Option key before you click in the TC box you want to move and continue to hold it until you drop into the new box. Have you tried copy and paste? Does that work for you?

    All the best,

    Tom

    Thanks Tom,

    I wasn’t outside the box before hitting option.

    I love that drag feature (much more than copy/paste) since I am outputting

    tons and tons of spots on beta this month.

    Deadhead, I’m interested in this drag feature for TC. Can you tell me how this feature helps your workflow? I’ve used edit to tape for years, and output many things to Beta, but I’m just not understanding exactly what your copying from where to where.
