For example, I don’t want my time code to look like this: [00:01:23.29]
Instead, I want to remove the last two numbers so it looks like this: [00:01:23]

To remove the frames from your currently open transcript:

1. Open the existing transcript in InqScribe.

2. Select “Transcript->Transcript Settings…” from the menu bar.

3. Under the “Inserted Time Code Format:” section, check the “Omit Frames” checkbox.

4. Click “OK” to close the window.

This will tell InqScribe not to use frames in the future for this particular transcript (Frames will still be used by default for any new transcripts that you create.  See the next section to turn off frames for all future transcripts). Next we need to remove the frames from your existing time codes.

5. Select “Transcript->Adjust Time Codes…” from the menu bar.

6. Leave the “Adjustment:” field at “00:00:00″, and click “Adjust.”  This will reformat all of your time codes to remove the frame number.
