  • duration of work area

    Posted by Anthony Dupsta on September 18, 2006 at 6:32 pm

    I want to find a quick way to find the duration of my work area. For instance, my 100 frame comp has a work area that starts on frame 11 and ends on 76, either I do the simple math of be lazy and have it done for me by going into the render que. Is there another way to do it beside having to create a movie?

    When you drag the work area’s in/out points, the Info Window will provide the info you want – unless I’ve been imagining all of it.

    There are occasions when it gets in the way and that’s where the Tab key comes in handy. Hiding or showing it is a matter of using the Tab key. Lots of power there.
