I need Help: i want to insert a Timecode in the middle of a clip, just like someone runs through a scene and i want it to count it with the time code. But when i drop the Timecode from the clip it has to begin, the Timecode stays synchronized with the real duration of the full timeline. But i want it to start it by Zero in the middle of a scene. I am not able to offset this. The numbers stays synchronized with the real Timeline. How can i change that? Thanks in forward!
