Is it my imagination or did smoke use to do this:

Enter a time code simply by starting to type using the keypad. The period (dot) key should give you 00.

This works if you click on the clip time code, but if I just start to type using the keypad, I get a hash before the frame number instead of a :  and on hitting enter nothing happens.

Hope this makes sense

on smoke linux (2012SAP & older) it works - mac seems to type frame numbers only, not TC ...

There’s a ‘clip go to timecode’ shortcut you can assign under keyboard shortcuts… can’t see an equivalent for the sequence.

Agreed it would be better if whatever is in focus would accept a direct entry.

So it’s taking frame numbers instead of TC ... grrr. I hope AD fixes this.

Hi,

There is a way to navigate by frame or by timecode.  I have just tested and it is working fine.

To navigate to a certain timecode or frame, click the timecode counter to open the calculator.

To the top left of the calculator there is a button which will say either FRM or TC .... Frames or Timecode.

Choose your option and than type the relevant option.

The option you choose will stick as a setting so you don’t have to keep changing the option when you want to navigate to a specific point using either timecode or frames.

Back at my machine and hmmm still doesn’t work as expected. If while focus on the timeline I begin to type timecode using the keypad, the keypad appears (as expected) and accepts my number . However it adds a # before the frame number. I’m working in 25FPS and would expect to see a : (colon ... snigger)

Pressing the TC button does nothing. If I click the timecode box and then enter my code it works as expected. I was trying to remove the additional click required to jump to a specific point in the timeline.

hi,

just found the new hotkeys “G” and “ALT + G”, which triggers goto frame/TC
this is with flame hotkeys, but im sure theres an equivalent for FCPkeys

Figured it out. It seems my project cfg is set to 50fps! Even though the sequence is 25p if you hit the TC calc from just typing on the keypad, it asumes the project settings and not the sequence. Bug me thinks.

Can anyone else replicate this?
