# Does Scriptation have a timecode stamp?

Yes! You can add a Timecode stamp to any page in Scriptation.

### Adding a Timecode Stamp

Tap the **Timecode** icon on the Annotation Toolbar. A timecode annotation is placed on the page immediately.

| ✅ TIP: Don't see the Timecode icon on the Annotation Toolbar? Annotation tools get nested based on your device's size and orientation. Look for any icon with a small **triangle** in the bottom-right corner — **long-press** on iPad/iPhone or **right-click** on Mac to reveal its nested options. Timecode lives inside one of those nested menus on smaller screens.

The timecode annotation can be moved, resized, and copied/pasted like any other annotation. Tap the Timecode icon again to add another stamp.

### Adjusting What's Displayed in the Timecode

###### In Scriptation 6.0 and later

1. Tap the **three-dot menu** (**⋯**) at the top-right and choose **Settings**;
2. Open the **Annotations** tab and select **Timecode**.

###### In Scriptation 5.1.16 and earlier

1. Tap the **three-line icon** (**☰**) at the top-left of the screen to open the File Browser;
2. At the bottom-left of the panel, tap **Settings**;
3. Open the **Timecode** settings.

From the Timecode settings:

* **Tap the color dot** to open the color picker and change the text color. The field behind the text will be a lighter shade of the color you choose;
* Choose between a **12-hour** and **24-hour** clock;
* Toggle whether to **show or hide the date**.

|| 📝 NOTE: The timecode annotation uses your device's clock. If it shows the wrong time or date, close Scriptation and adjust the time and date in your device's Settings.
