Apply Timecode Offset #21

It would be great if an offset could be applied to timecodes in Marker Toolbox. I have two scenarios currently where it would be a great help.

Clients often leave out the 10-hour portion of timecode in hand-written notes: e.g. they refer to 10:01:30:00 as "1:30". I'm getting around this in the (excellent—thank you!) Marker Toolbox by temporarily changing the timecode of the sequence (in this case, Avid) to start at 00:00:00:00, importing the notes, then changing it back to 10:00:00:00.

Also, if they send their notes in more than one batch (sometimes they'll only watch and respond to the first half and expect you to do those notes while they watch the rest), the timecode they refer to is often different now from the latest sequence. Applying an offset to all the new timecodes would bring it back into line for import.

That's a great idea - thanks for suggesting @KenHell!
