I have now superimposed the time code onto my clips on the timeline & they are displayed as hour, minute, second & frame. I double click on a clip & look the bottom right of the timeline I have the start, finish & elapsed time for the selected clip. The third of these 3 boxes displays the last set of numbers to 3 decimals? Why, have I got someone other setting in here? If so what would that be?
The timeline displays a different number of thumbnails for any event on the timeline depending upon what scale you are looking at. I notice that sometime after I make a cut to an event I sometime have displayed at the end of the cut a thumbnail from the clip that I just cut. Why should this be? If I play back frame by frame the portion just before & after my clip I don't see in the preview window anything that would have been associated with the clip just cut off. Is this the way things usually happen?
When you want an entire clip to run in reverse I realize that the clip on the timeline isn't the one you are seeing. What I am having a problem with is that when I finally get the entire running in reverse I might find that either the beginning or the end had a couple of unwanted frames from another event. Just chopping these off in the usual way doesn't fix the problem probably because I'm cutting at the wrong position. Is there any rule say that applies to say when the change is for the end do this, or when at the beginning do that?
