Timecode display options

Explore different types of timecodes so that you can choose the best timecode display options for your project.

The Timecode panel offers multiple options to work with.

Sequence Display

• Current Time: The main master timecode.
• Absolute: Timecode that always starts at zero at the beginning and increments one frame at a time.
• Duration: Total duration of your timeline.
• In/Out: Indications for the In and Out range.
• Remaining: Indication of the remaining time from the Current Time Indicator (CTI) to the end of your sequence.

Source Tracks Display

Source Tracks contain a specific number of video and audio tracks on a timeline. You can select any track to view the source timecodes for the selected track.

Format Display

You can use the Format options to change the default timebase format or to view the timecode in Frames or Feet.

Compact Display

In Compact view, Premiere Pro only changes the label's color, but there is no tag.

Full Size

If the timecode panel is set to Full Size view, Premiere Pro displays a tag when a different format is selected and changes the label color from white to orange.
