can have both positive and negative time values.
Timecode Entry Fields are interactive. Changes made to an entry field may
effect other fields' values. For example, changes made to the In Time or Out
Time fields in the Active or Merge Mix boxes will change the value of the
Length time. Changes made in the Length field will change the value of the
Out Time of both the Active and Merge Mixes. Changes made to the Offset
field may effect In Times, and so on.
It is possible for the In Time and Out Time to be equal in value. When using
the click/drag method of timecode entry, it is possible to scroll the Out Time
downward until it matches the In Time. In that event, the Length time will be
00:00:00:00. Additional reduction of the Out Time value will also reduce the
In Time value. Returning the Out Time to its original value will increase the
In Time until it matches its original value.
