  ExtendScript – Current Time Indicator Value?

  Posted by James Ronan on May 5, 2016 at 7:26 pm

  Hello team!

  I’m simply trying get the value of of the Current Time Indicator for a script I’m working on.

  I’ve had a look though the scripting guide, but have not come across anything that screams ‘Current Time Indicator value’.

  Would it be anything to do with:

  timeToCurrentFormat()
  currentFormatToTime()

  Any help much appreciated.

  James

  The CTI is just the time attribute of any comp. For example,

  alert(app.project.activeItem.time);

  will open a dialog box and tell you the current time of the active comp.
