You can display the source timecode in the Program Monitor preview for clips in a sequence as you edit:

  • If you trim a clip, the clip’s source timecode is displayed.
  • If you perform a slide edit, the new source media’s In and Out points for the adjacent clips are displayed.
  • If you perform a slip edit, the clip’s new source media’s In and Out points are displayed.
