Time Ranges and Events

Time ranges

Time ranges and markers are defined regions drawn on the timeline. They can be labeled and they can get appearances assigned. A marker is created on the timeline section of a track group and will be applied downward to all the tracks in the track group. A time range is created on the timeline section of a track and it is track specific.

Time ranges and markers are tools used to better navigate and visualize the timecode show. They do not affect timecode playback or recording.

When a track is added, a new time range is created for that track and the duration is set to the total length of the timecode show. To set the duration of the timecode show, see Timecode settings.

Events

Events are tags positioned on the timeline that can get Tokens assigned to.
Tokens can be assigned from the text display of the timecode view or with the event encoder in the encoder bar. For more information, see Toggle view mode.

When the cursor (green timeline) reaches an event, the assigned tag is executed.
