Enter timecode
As you capture and edit video, you enter timecode values many times. For example, you enter timecode values to set
In and Out points for clips and to navigate a Timeline panel. Premiere Pro provides many ways to enter timecode.
In Premiere Pro, the duration between the In and Out points includes the frames indicated by the timecode. For
example, if you enter the same timecode for the In and Out points of a clip, the duration of the clip is one frame. When
entering timecode, you can substitute periods for colons or type numbers without punctuation. Premiere Pro
interprets the numbers you type as hours, minutes, seconds, and frames.
• To set a specific timecode, select the timecode, type a new timecode, and then press Enter/Return.
• To adjust the current timecode by dragging, drag the timecode horizontally. For example, to set an earlier timecode,
drag to the left.
• To adjust the current timecode by using a relative value, type the plus sign (+) or minus sign (–) and the number
of frames to add or subtract. For example, to subtract five frames from the current timecode, select the entire
timecode, type –5, and then press Enter/Return.
View timecode as a burn-in
You can display clip timecode within the video preview of the clip by applying the Timecode effect to that clip. You
can display timecode within the video preview of any part of a sequence by applying the Timecode effect to a
transparent video clip. then trim the transparent video clip for the period when you want the timecode visible.
Onscreen timecode is commonly referred to as burn-in timecode. It is used in rough edits and proofs to give frame-
accurate reference points to editors and their collaborators.
