Tip: How Do I Remove Frames from Timecodes?

I don’t want the frame number to appear in my timecode. I want [hh:mm:ss], not [hh:mm:ss:ff]. Can I turn it off?

For example, I don’t want my timecode 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 Timecode 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 timecodes.

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

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

2. Click on the “New Document” tab at the top of the “InqScribe Preferences” window.

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

…On Windows:

1. Select “Edit->Options…” from the menu bar.
