The clip will be at the same timecode location, but on another track. Moving Clips Numerically When you want to move clip items precisely, you can move them by entering positive or negative timecode values. To move an item by entering a timecode value: 1 In the Timeline, select the clip item or items you want to move. 2 Type a relative timecode value for where you want the clip to be positioned. For example, type +48 (or simply 48) to move the item 48 frames forward. To move 48 frames backward in time, type -48. When you type a number, a Move field appears above the track. You can also type a regular timecode value to move the clip to that location in the Timeline. Note: Don't click in the Current Timecode field before you do this, or you'll move the playhead instead. 376 Part VI Rough Editing
