Setting Up a Timeline in Blue

When importing media from MSS, it is important to set the timecode format on blue to match the original media. For NTSC, there is a drop frame format, and a non-drop frame format. For PAL, there is only one timecode format and it does not require any changes.

The default setting on Blue is non-dropframe. To setup a dropframe timeline, click the create new timeline icon.

Click on the advanced button and check the use drop frame timecode box shown in Figure 3-23. Click the checkmark icon to finish.

If you plan to use the drop frame format regularly, you can save the format as default so you don't have to repeat this step every time you create a new timeline. To save the timeline settings as default, click on the timeline menu icon pictured in Figure 3-24. From the menu choose “ave timeline as default template.”
