  change the time display

  Posted by Goodtimej on January 24, 2008 at 1:18 am

  Hey, noob question here.

  I want to be able to display seconds above the timeline instead of what is being displayed now. Now what I am seeing now across the top of the timeline is 28f, 29f, 01f, numbers like that. I want to change it so I can look across the timeline and just slide over to -for example- 2.5 seconds.

  I know its somewhere in here, but I just can’t find it. Please help!

  You’re never going to get 2.5 sec, you can get 2 sec 15 frames (assuming a 30 fps comp), but never 2.5 sec, sorry ’bout that.

  Change Project settings with File>Project Settings, or Ctrl (Command) Click the Time in the timeline; explanation of what’s what here:
