The Audio Time Code event performs [commands](docId\:lG8iLYdnIB0PL8tvxTKBo) at specific times during audio file playback. If you want to trigger a transition at a certain point during audio playback, use the [Timeout](docId\:UnTTDBsTwdsXeogHb2qF6) event instead.

Click the **Add Time Code** button to add a new time-code command. Enter the **Timeout** interval for the command (in milliseconds), and then select the **Command** and **Parameters** from the corresponding lists.
