# Setting the Timecode Source Settings
<a name="set-the-timecode-source-settings"></a>

Before you start setting up the captions themselves, you need to make sure that the timecode settings you make result in correctly synchronized captions. The simplest way to make sure that your captions synchronize correctly with your video is to set both the input and job-wide timecode source to **Start at 0** or to set them both to **Embedded**.

**Note**  
If you set both to **Embedded**, the timecodes in your captions files must begin at the same time as the timecodes that are embedded in your input video.

**To set your input timecode source setting**

1. On the **Create New Job** page, in the **Input** section, under **Input 1**, choose **Advanced** to display more settings.

1. For **Timecode Source**, choose **Start at 0** or **Embedded**.

**To set your job-wide timecode source setting**

1. On the **Create New Job** page, at the bottom of the **Input** section, find the **Timecode Config** section.

1. For **Source** choose, choose the same value that you set for the input timecode source setting.
