Utilizing Timecode To Trim Edits
Rather than searching frame by frame using playback controls or the J, K, L keys in Final Cut Pro, use timecode to move to a specific frame while in the viewer. You would then select which edit tool you wish to use and click the In and Out button to make the change.
Using Timecode To Reset In and Out Points:
1 Choose a clip then proceed to open it in the Viewer.
2 Enter the timecode value were the new in and out points will be in the timecode field just above the timeline area, then press return. OR, you can press Shift-I or Shift-O to move the playhead to the in and out points, then enter the timecode value to move the In or Out point.
3 Choose an edit tool in the tool palette.
4 Press I or O and the canvas and timeline will show the changes.
