The timecode event file contains a list of system commands that are stamped with a timecode. When a timecode stream is input to Artist and the relevant transport is in play mode the commands will be activated at the time specified.
Manually adding events[edit]
When the relevant timecode transport is in Stop mode, clicking on 'Mark' on the view's toolbar will open the Time code Wizard. Follow the steps to add a time-stamped System Commands to the list.
Dynamically adding events[edit]
With the relevant transport control in the Time Control window set to Record mode and the time code source streaming, pressing 'Mark' will insert a time-stamped event into the list. It will not open the wizard to set the system command. Instead, it inserts a default system command which you can edit later.
In this mode, you press 'Mark' in real time each time you want to mark an event. Pressing the 'QWERTY' keyboard space bar has the same effect.
In Record mode, you can also capture Cue activations. That is to say, if you use your usual method for activating a cue a time-stamped event will be inserted with a Cue activate system command.
Editing System commands[edit]
Right click on an event in the timecode list and select 'Edit Event'. This will open the wizard pages and allow you to change the time and the associated system command.
Editing times[edit]
Often you need to tighten up the timing of events in your script. To do this the transport should be in stop mode. Select the event and you will see an in-place time edit control. Click on the field you wish to edit and adjust the time.
