Accessing points in time

To access a point in time, do one of the following:

  1. Use the time code box.

    1. Click on the time code above the media playback controls (left side of the ELAN window). The Goto dialog window appears.

      Figure 117. Click the timecode box


    2. Enter the time code in the following format: “hh:mm:ss.sss” (hours:minutes:seconds.milliseconds). The crosshair jumps immediately to the selected time code.

      You can omit part of the time code information:

      • If the digits are “00”, you can omit “hours:”, “hours:minutes:”, or “hours:minutes:seconds.”

      • It is optional to specify “.milliseconds”.

      [Note]Note

      The character preceding the milliseconds is a dot, not a colon.

  2. Use the crosshair

    Figure 118. Use the crosshair


    Click somewhere in the Text, Subtitle, Timeline, Waveform or Grid Viewer. The crosshair will jump to that point. By holding the ALT button and dragging the time axis to the left or to the right you can scroll through the annotations.

  3. Use the media control buttons

    See the section called “The Media Player options”

  4. Use the 'Shift' + Scrollwheel function. When pressing and holding 'Shift', you can scroll horizontally with the scrollwheel on your mouse. On a laptop or macbook, you can use two finger scrolling to achieve the same effect.
