To move the playhead forward relative to its current position:

m Enter + (plus), then a timecode value.

To move the playhead back:

m Enter – (minus), then a timecode value.

For example, if you type +1612, the playhead moves ahead 16 seconds and 12 frames.

To move the playhead back by 16 seconds and 12 frames, you would type –1612. To

move back 5 minutes, 20 seconds, and 10 frames, you would type –52010.

To move the playhead by typing outside the Current Timecode field:

1 Do one of the following:

Â Double-click a clip to open it in the Viewer.

Â Make the Canvas active.

2 Type a new timecode value, then press Return.

Even though the Current Timecode field isn’t selected, the timecode value you type

appears in this field. The playhead moves to the location of the new timecode value,

and the new timecode value is shown in the Current Timecode field.

For more information about timecode, see Volume II, Chapter 25, “Working With Timecode.”

Dragging Timecode Values

You can drag timecode values from one timecode field to another, or from columns in

the Browser to timecode fields in the Log and Capture window. This can be especially

helpful for quickly relogging a clip when you want to change its In or Out point in the

Log and Capture window. For more information, see Chapter 16, “Logging Clips,” on

page 247.

To drag a timecode value from one field to another:

m Hold down the Option key while you drag a timecode value from a timecode field or

column in the Browser to any other timecode field.
