Timecode and Tone

You may wish to move your Time code before you edit, so you don't have to do it during, and mess up everything. To set a new position, you must click Setup -> Current time code position. A box should appear and you can enter your desired time code where you'd like your production to start.

You'll then need to change the session start, so that your session starts in sync with your new Time code position. To do that, you click Setup -> Session and enter your start number, usually the same as the Time code position. There will then be a drop down menu called Sync Setup, and when it drops down, it should look like in diagram 1. You must make sure Video Ref Format is set to PAL.



For Tone you will need to select (or highlight) some of an audio track.

Then go to Audio Suite -> Other -> Signal Generator

The default option is 1K tone, so just press process, and your highlighted area will have tone.
