Moving Clips Using Timecode

You can move one or more selected clips in the Timeline using timecode, even if they
are nonadjacent. However, if the resulting clip movement will cause an overwrite,
Final Cut Pro does not allow the clips to move. In this case, you can manually move
the clips.

To move a clip in your sequence using timecode:

1

Select one or more clips in your sequence.

2

Do one of the following:

 To move the clips forward, press + (plus) and type a timecode duration for the move.
 To move the clips backward, press – (minus) and type a timecode duration for

the move.

3

Press Return.

The timecode entry field
appears when you type.

The clips move forward
by the duration entered.
