Editing Duration and Timecode Properties
For properties of type duration and timecode, the following applies:
• Input is provided from right to left starting at the current cursor position. While you type, the figures to the left are overwritten.
• You can paste a value into the field. Pasting can be done from any cursor position but the pasted value must have the correct timecode/duration format (with correct separators and number of digits in the last digits group).
• While you type, your input is validated; if you provide an invalid value, a pop-up appears and shows the allowed input. If you click outside the field without having corrected the value, the auto-correction mechanism coverts your input to a valid value.
To edit a duration or timecode field:
1. To set the field to edit mode, do one of the following:
Click in the field. This sets the cursor at the right side of the field.
Double-click on a part of the property (for example, the hour) in the field. This positions the cursor at the corresponding position.
2. To provide a value, do one of the following:
Type in the figures, including “0.”
Paste a copied timecode.
Press the Backspace key to set the number “0” and shift the cursor to the left.
Press the Esc button. This discards your input and ends editing mode.
3. Click outside the property or press the Tab key.
4. To remove the entire value from the property, click the X button that is shown at the right side when you hover thew mouse-pointer over of the field.
5. (only required if auto-save is disabled) Click the Save button to save your changes.
