# Using the Time segment type-in

You can use the Timeline window to edit the Time segments in the Time graph or you can use the Time segment type-in to type the values manually. The type-in is very useful if you need to move an effect or a layer in time. You cannot create new keyframes in the Time segment type-in. Time is to be typed in frames, but is also shown in SMPTE code (hour, minute, second, frame).

A. Origo lets you adjust the origo of the Time segment.
B. Segments displays the segments and keyframes. The Time segment is scaled to fill the whole area in the type-in. The left text field shows the start position of the Time segment and the right field shows the end.
C. Duration displays the total duration of the Time segment.
D. Key lets you choose the keyframe to edit. The selected keyframe will be shown highlighted (second keyframe in the picture) in the segments display.
E. Time lets you edit a keyframe's position in time.
