Installing or Copying the Avid Codecs for QuickTime on Other Systems
1027
Avid supports the import and export of QuickTime movies while preserving their timecode
information.
When you export a QuickTime clip or sequence from your Avid editing application, the
timecode information of the clip or sequence is embedded in the QuickTime movie. If you move
these QuickTime movies to another Avid editing application and import them, the timecode
information is included in the clip or sequence information.
If a third-party application supports the preservation of timecode on import and export, the
exported timecode track is visible when you export a QuickTime clip from your Avid editing
application and then import it into or view it in the third-party application.
