‌Timecode Entry‌

This numerical keypad has many timecode-specific keys that allow you to input these values directly into DaVinci Resolve to navigate to specific points in the Timeline, or move forward and backward in the Timeline by specific increments.

How to Enter Timecode Values

When entering timecode, type each pair of hour, minute, second, and frame values from left to right, with a period representing a pair of zeros for fast entry. The numbers you enter appear in the timecode field at the upper right-hand corner of the Viewer with focus. When you’re finished typing,

press the Return key to execute the Timecode command. The rules for timecode entry are as follows:

— The right-most pair of timecode values (or period) you enter is always the frame number.

— A period to the left or to the right of any number you type is considered to be a pair of zeroes.

— A single period between two numbers is considered to either be a single zero, or ignored if it’s between two pairs of numbers.

— Any untyped pairs of values to the left of what you enter are assumed to be whatever those values were prior to the timecode you entered; this makes it easy to type partial timecode values even when the Timeline starts at hour one.

— It’s not necessary to enter colons or semicolons.

Absolute Timecode Entry

Absolute timecode is entered simply by typing in a timecode value. So long as no clips or edit points are selected when you press the Return key, the playhead will move to that timecode value. If an edit point or clip is selected, those will be moved or trimmed to the corresponding timecode value, if possible.

Here are some examples of absolute timecode entry using this method:

Original TC Value	User-Typed Value	New TC Value
01:10:10:10	15245218	15:24:52:18
01:10:10:10	2..	01:02:00:00
01:10:10:10	15	01:10:10:15
01:10:10:10	12	01:10:10:12
01:10:10:10	1.2	01:10:01:02
01:10:10:10	1115..	11:15:00:00
01:10:10:10	23...	23:00:00:00

Relative Timecode Entry

Relative timecode is entered by starting the timecode value with a plus (+) or minus (–). Adding a plus results in the value you type being added to the current timecode value for purposes of offsetting the playhead or moving a selection. Adding a minus will subtract the value you type from the current timecode value.

User-Typed Value	Result
+20.	00:00:20:00 is added to the current timecode value.
+3..	00:03:00:00 is added to the current timecode value.
-5	00:00:00:05 is subtracted from the current timecode value.

TRIM EDITOR

This key opens the Trim Editor on the Cut page at the edit point shown by the Smart Indicator and does not function in the Edit page.

HOME

This key functions like the standard home key. Hold down Fn+Home for the End Key.

F/TC (Frames/Timecode)

This key toggles between timecode (HH:MM:SS:FF) and frame count (23, 48, etc.) entry using the numerical keypad. For example, if you wanted to move forward 200 frames, you can press this key and then enter +200 and press the Enter key.

DUR ENTER (Duration Enter)

Press this key to quickly change the duration of a transition or a clip’s length by the exact number that you typed in. For example selecting a transition, typing -15, and pressing the Dur Enter key, decreases the length of the transition by 15 frames.

This key adds two zeros to the timecode input rather than a single zero, to make numerical entry faster.
