EDITING NAMES THAT INCLUDE NUMBERS
In names that have a number as part of the name (i.e. PROJECT 5), this can be renamed
very quickly simply by pressing any other number on the numeric keypad. For example,
pressing 9 would immediately change this name to PROJECT 9. This can be useful when
saving a project with a different name (SAVE AS). It is also useful for quickly renaming
libraries or clips.
ENTERING TIMECODE VALUES
Timecode is entered using the NUMERIC KEYPAD. Values enter from the right and time
divisions (i.e. hours, minutes, seconds and frames) are confirmed using the keypad's OO
'double zero' key.
For example, to enter a value of 1 hour, 23 minutes, 12 seconds, 12 frames, type the
following:
You will see the following display in the selected timecode field as you enter the numbers:
The important thing to remember is to 'confirm' the time division using the numeric
keypad's OO 'double zero' key.
If you wish to enter a timecode value with a sub-frame, use the procedure described
above but, before entering the sub-frame value, press the
and enter the sub-frame value. For example, 1, OO, 23, OO, 12, OO, 12, OO, , 5,
EXECUTE to enter 1 hour, 23 minutes, 12 seconds, 12 frames and 5 sub-frames:
If you make a mistake when entering a timecode value, press EXIT. This will restore the
field's previous timecode entry and you may try again.
It is also possible to 'nudge' timecode entries. You can move the cursor 'within' the
timecode field using the numeric keypad's -/< and +/> keys. As an example, in EDIT CUE,
you may wish to nudge a fade up time from 2 seconds to 3 seconds. Rather than type in
3, OO, EXECUTE, move the cursor to the seconds field using -/< or +/> as appropriate
and use the DATA ENTRY + key to increment by one. I.e.:
