  Quicktime viewer with frame level time display

  Posted by Bruce Gaber on May 17, 2016 at 3:47 pm

  In working with my creative partner, who doesn’t have AE, we often need to make editing decisions that require timing at the frame level. Quicktime Player and VLC only display time to the nearest second. Can anybody suggest a player that displays minutes:seconds:frames?

  Thanks

  Dave, come on. You have to make decisions in After Effects work, too, sometimes at the frame level. Play nice.

  A quick Google yields the following:

  Quicktime Player 7 has a timecode view. Also Scratch Play is pretty advanced and free.

  Ya’ Dave play nice. Actually we’re needing to make some decisions as to exactly where we will start some video footage within an AE comp. But we need a time resolution better than 1 sec to make the choice. Isn’t that editing?

  The fix here is to install Quicktime 7 on my partner’s machine. It does indeed report duration in absolute frames.

  Thanks all
