PAL video (the video format used in many countries other than the
United States) uses a scan rate of 25 fps. Timecode is indicated by
colons. There is no need for drop-frame timecode in PAL video.
You can change the starting timecode of a sequence or, for NTSC
projects, the type of timecode. See “Changing the Timecode of the
Sequence” on page 173 and the Avid NewsCutter XP User’s Guide.
Using Timecode to Mark IN and OUT Points
You can mark IN and OUT points by using timecode as your reference
point. If you know the timecode for the frame you want to mark, you
can go to that frame instantly by typing it on the numeric keypad.
In this section, you’ll use timecode to reach a specific location. First,
you need to display the appropriate timecode information in the
Tracking Information display.
1. Open the Hand and keyboard clip.
2. Place the pointer in the gray title bar area over the Tracking
Information display, until the pointer changes to a downward
arrow.
3. When the pointer changes to a downward arrow, click to display
the Tracking Information pop-up menu, and then choose TC, V1
(timecode for track Video 1) from the menu. A check mark means
it is selected.
