conventional timecode and frame-offset techniques, text searches, and
Match Frame and Find Bin commands.
Using Timecode to Find a Frame
You can cue a loaded clip or sequence to a specific frame by typing
timecode values into the numeric keypad on the right side of the key-
board. In addition, you can cue backward or forward from the current
location in the clip or sequence by a specified number of minutes and
seconds or feet plus frames by using positive or negative frame-offset
values.
For more information
on selecting the display
of tracking informa-
tion, see “Displaying
Tracking Information”
on page 275.
The system interprets the numbers you type into the numeric keypad
according to the type of tracking format you have chosen from the
Tracking Information Display menu (timecode or frames). If you have
two rows of information displayed above the monitor, the system
looks to the top row.
To use timecode to find a frame, the top row of information must
include timecode; for example, V1.
To cue to a frame based on a known timecode:
1. Click the monitor that is displaying the clip or sequence you want
to search.
2. Choose a timecode tracking format from the Tracking Information
Display menu that appears above the monitor. If two rows of
information are displayed above the monitor, make sure the time-
code format is in the top row.
3. Enter the timecode for the frame by using the numeric keypad on
the right side of the keyboard.
