Camcorders record timecode onto tape. The timecode is based on the number of frames per second (fps) that the camcorder records and the number of frames per second that the video displays upon playback. Digital video has a standard frame rate that is either 29.97 fps for NTSC video (the U.S. television standard) or 25 fps (the European television standard). Timecode describes location in the format of hours;minutes;seconds;frames. For example, 01;20;15;10 specifies that the displayed frame is located 1hour, 20 minutes, 15 seconds, and ten frames into the scene. </p><p class="paragraph">As you view video in the Capture window, the Current Position Timecode display shows you exactly where the current frame is located in the scene.
