Tips:

· Instant timecode tip is a feature of VideoStudio that allows you to add clips with a specific timecode. It appears while trimming and inserting overlapping clips on the timeline, enabling you to make adjustments based on the timecode shown.

· The instant timecode tip appears with the format 00:00:11.03 (03.06 – 09.22). 00:00:11.03 indicates the current timecode where the selected clip is located. 03.06 represents the duration overlapping with the previous clip while 09.22 is the duration overlapping with the next clip.
