Adjusting Timecodes

You can easily adjust single or multiple event timecodes:

1.   Select the invalid entry or entries in the spreadsheet.
2.   Double-click in the Src In column.
3.   Adjust the timecode as required. You can enter absolute or relative timecode values:

Absolute - absolute timecodes contain eight digits and specify the new timecode for the event, regardless of the current timecode.

Example

Result

01:05:43:21

Sets the timecode at 1 hour, 05 minutes, 43 seconds, and 21 frames

01054321

Relative - uses + and - values to alter the timecode relative to its current value. You can also use h, m, and s to denote hours, minutes, and seconds.
