Finding Frames, Clips, and Bins
539
The system interprets the numbers you type with the numeric keypad according to the type of
tracking format you have selected from the Tracking Information menu (timecode or frames). If
you have two rows of information displayed above the monitor, the system looks at the top row.
For more information on selecting the display of tracking information, see “Displaying Tracking
Information” on page 490.
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. Select a timecode tracking format from the Tracking Information menu that appears above
the monitor.
If two rows of information are displayed above the monitor, make sure the timecode format
is in the top row.
3. (Option) If you are using a notebook computer or a keyboard that does not have a dedicated
numeric keypad, press and release the left Control key twice quickly.
This lets you enter timecode using standard keys on the keyboard, such as the number keys
and the Enter key (Windows) or Return key (Macintosh).
4. Enter the timecode for the frame by using the numeric keypad on the right side of the
keyboard.
If you have performed step 3 on a notebook computer or a keyboard that does not have a
dedicated numeric keypad, use the standard keyboard number keys.
Example of timecode entry with the numeric keypad. The timecode appears in the monitor. In this example, the
interface displays master timecode.
