field if sufficient space is available. Then it will leave edit mode on the previous selection and put the frames field
in edit mode.

Used for Offsetting the timecode by another timecode. Brings up a new timecode edit box under and offset from
the parent box. The Parent box goes gray. An offset can be entered into the new edit box. All normal editing can
be used in the new box (bumping, scrolling etc) except for +,–. The offset can be applied to the original timecode
by pressing Enter, + or –. Pressing enter will apply the offset, either adding or subtracting it based on the key
used to initiate the process. Pr will add it (irregardless of the key used to initiate), pressing – will subtract
it (irregardless of the key used to initiate). Pressing esc will cancel the action. Clicking outside the offset entry box
will also cancel the action.
The offset entry box will allow frames to be entered up to 99 if the HH, MM and SS fields are all 0 for bumping by
up to 99 frames.

Enters Scroll Mode. The Control key is the modifier to enter scroll mode. Once in scroll mode the control key can
be released. Scrolls the Field clicked on, wrapping into higher order fields. When the field and all higher order
fields are 00s or Max Values the scrolling is stopped (i.e. 0 wrap is prevented). Pressing and holding the shift key
while scrolling enables 10x scrolling as long as the shift key is held.
Enter Commits to the Edited Timecode
Esc or U Cancels all changes to the timecode since the last Commit
Timecode Entry Validation
When free form entry of timecodes is performed, after all digits are entered or
the selected field is changed, the entered data is validated. If there are invalid
digits for the type of timecode, the highest order invalid field is highlighted
and the text color goes red. At this point no operations are allowed until the
timecode is corrected. Since the field in error is automatically highlighted, a
direct entry for correction is easy.
Commit/Cancel The timecode editor keeps two timecodes during editing, the committed time-
code and the working timecode. As you bump, offset, enter digits, etc., the
working timecode gets changed. Pressing Enter or leaving the edit box (i.e.
the edit box loses focus) commits the edits. If after making changes, even in
the middle of entering digits or with invalid timecode displayed in red, you
can press Esc to cancel the changes and go back to the original timecode.
