For information to display timecodes in the Timeline and the Tracking Information display, see
“Displaying Timecode Tracks in the Timeline” on page 636 and “Displaying Tracking
Information” on page 458.
After you add a timecode column (TC60) to a bin, you can use the Duplicate command to
convert the values for master clips and subclips to the appropriate timecode for that column.
For example, when you work with a 24p NTSC project, if you duplicate the Start column values
to one of the timecode columns and the Start column contains a master clip with the timecode
01:00:00:15, the timecode converts to the timecode of that column.
Adding Timecode Columns to a Bin or the Media Tool
To add timecode columns to a bin or to the Media tool:
1. Select Bin > Choose Columns.
The Bin Column Selection dialog box opens.
2. Ctrl+click (Windows) or Command+click (Macintosh) the timecode columns you want to
display.
3. Click OK.
The timecode columns appear in the bin or the Media tool.
Frame Counting for Timecodes
The table shows the frame count for each timecode available for your Avid editing application.
The timecodes are listed as 24 for 24 fps, 25 for 25 fps, 25P for 25 PAL with pulldown, 30 for 30
fps (the count skips six frames to fit 30 frames into 24 fps), 30NP for 30 fps with no pulldown,
and 60 for 60 fps.
