24-Hour Clock
Scenes can be played back using a 24-hour clock. In this case, the playhead will always follow the current time of day
during playback. If a longitude and latitude are entered, scene times can also be relative to the local sunset and
sunrise.
To enable the 24-Hour Clock, it must be selected as the Timecode Source at the General Preferences window. (Refer
to
"General Preferences" on page 24.)
To configure scene times relative to the local sunset/sunrise, a "sunset" or "sunrise" prefix should be added to the
timecode entry. For example:
+ "sunset-00:30:00:00" will recall the scene 30 minutes before sunset.
+
"06:00:00:00" will recall the scene 6 hours after sunset.

Step 1. Open Preferences window and select General tab. (Refer to "General Preferences" on page 24.)
