2 In the clip playback area, locate a frame near the beginning of the clip for which you know the correct edge code number or timecode value. This is easy if your video has window burn. Click Identify to show the current frame's settings. Burned-in timecode value Burned-in edge code value 3 If necessary, click Identify to show the record's settings. 4 Look at the Key, Ink, and Video Timecode fields in the Identify pane to see if the numbers match the window burn of the frame in the Clip window. (You may be using ink numbers instead of key numbers, or vice versa. If so, you can leave the field you aren't using blank.) 5 If any of the Key, Ink, or Video Timecode fields are incorrect, enter the correct numbers in the fields. 6 In the clip playback area, locate a frame near the end of the clip and repeat steps 4 and 5. • If the edge code number and timecode values are correct at the beginning of the clip, but not at the end of the clip: Frames may have been dropped during capture, in which case you should recapture the clip. See Avoiding Dropped Frames for more information. It might also be because the clip doesn't have a continuous edge code number-to-timecode relationship, in which case the Identify feature cannot help you confirm the edge code number and timecode values because it works by a calculation based on a continuous edge code number-to-timecode relationship. • If the timecode value is incorrect: There is a good chance that the timecode is wrong in Final Cut Pro. Open the same frame in Final Cut Pro and see if the timecode value is correct. If it isn't, make sure to correct the timecode in Final Cut Pro. You can do this by using the Modify Timecode dialog. See the Final Cut Pro documentation for more information about how to modify the timecode. 102 Chapter 6 Entering and Modifying Database Information
