Blackmagic Forum

I know that this will seem like a real rookie question- but hey I've got to ask.

Something that I always liked in Davinci was the quick and simple go to .. just type 00 and the cursor jumps to the nearest second etc.
I'm on beta 17 V8 build 23
and I find that I have to select the little timecode window above the viewer to do this. I'm sure before in 16 that I didn't do this - like the widow was always active just tap the source or timeline side type and hit enter. Have I mis-remebered this, or maybe there is a setting to have that window active?

Yours is about the fifth thread about this, please search before posting. Also, this is a BETA question, so should go in the BETA forum. Sorry to sound so harsh, but the other threads devolved into shouting matches that went on for dozens or hundreds of comments with many people thinking you have to click in v17 because someone (incorrectly) suggested that's the only thing that worked.

You do not have to click. As documented in the beta documentation, you now press "=" before an absolute timecode, just as you previously had to type "+" or "-" before a relative timecode.

(You may or may not agree with the change. Evidently some people type in absolute timecode hundreds or thousands of times a day and will leave Resolve if they have to type an additional keystroke thousands of times a day. That's a fair criticism, and I imagine BMD has heard it now. For me, I don't think I've ever used an absolute timecode, though I use relative timecodes fairly frequently, so the "=" is just making it more consistent with "+" and "-" and it doesn't bother me.)
