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.

-
