Display time in Decimals.
With all of the time based expressions using decimal places it would be very convenient to be able to make the time display in seconds/tenths of a seconds rather than seconds/frames.
I realize that each second is not devided into 100 pieces when playing at 60 fps but can I set it up so that it simply displays whatever time should be represented by the expression fro that frame?
ie at 2 seconds and 30 frames it would say 2.5, and at 2 seconds and 15 frames it says 2.25?
Thanks
This is essentially the conversion chart I am using but it would be nice not to have to keep referring to it.

Are you talking about displaying comp time in a text layer? You could use:
time
or,
time.toFixed(2)
or,
time.toFixed(1)

Hi Dan, no sorry I did not explain properly.
I just mean the little clock right above the bottom left section (above your layers) that displays the time your cursor is currently at in the timeline.
As far as I can tell you can only display that in either “Hours;Minutes;Seconds;Frames” or just “Frames”.
I would like to set it up as “Hours;Minutes;Seconds;1/100ths of second”.
All of the time inputs in the expressions are done as “Seconds.hundreths” so if I want an expression to start where my cursor is and I see “0;00;20;16, I have to convert the frames (at 60fps) to decimal places ie “time=20.27;”. Its not the end of the world but would be really convenient if instead of displaying “0;00;20;16” it would just say “0;00;20;27” to save me the step of looking at the conversion sheet.
