paste go to timecode

[whiggs]

I get a list of various timecodes and I can't figure out how to copy paste that timecode into the the go to function , is that even possible?

Hi Bill,

Are you referring to the UI or the python api?
In the UI, it is not possible to paste outside text into the time numerics.
In the python api, the flame.go_to and flame.batch.go_to function are for the tabs ( Timeline, Batch, etc ) navigation and not for the time. You can modify the current time of a clip via it’s current_time attribute and the frame in batch via the current_frame attribute.

example that move the timeline positioner to the start of the currently selected segment.

clip = flame.timeline.clip
clip.current_time = clip.current_segment.record_in

example that move the timeline positioner to a custom PyTime

flame.timeline.clip.current_time = flame.PyTime("01:00:10+00", "23.976 fps")

thanks for the reply I was referring to the UI, seems like it should do this so I will do an improvement request. I get notes sometimes in pdf or emails spelling out the timecode and I wanted to just copy past that so it jumps right to the specified timecode without having to manually typing it in.

Yes, it’s possible to paste a timecode into the G'o To' function in most editing software, as long as it’s in the correct format. Simply copy the timecode, then use the shortcut (often `Ctrl+G` on Windows or `Cmd+G` on Mac) to open the 'Go To' box, and paste the timecode there. Make sure the software you’re using supports this feature, and check the settings if you encounter any issues with format compatibility.

Thank You,
