2 Select Create Trimmed Batch List, and deselect Copy Trimmed Source Files.

In point and after the Out point of each clip. Specify just enough frames to give you flexi-
bility in fine-tuning edits.

and then click Save.
6 When asked, specify the location and name of the batch list file you are creating, and then

Reading timecode from source video
On most home VCRs, the tape counter doesn’t keep track of specific frames—for example,
tape counters on many VCRs reset to zero if you switch tapes or turn the VCR off and on.
High-end and professional video decks and cameras can record and read timecode to and
from a videotape, marking specific frames so that it is possible to accurately locate, edit, and
synchronize video frames and the audio track. When capturing video, you usually want to
capture the timecode associated with each clip if the source video contains timecode.
