How to change Timeline display to min,sec,frames?
Hello, my Timeline has somehow gotten switched over to just raw frame numbers from 1 to 100,000+. How can I change this? I went to Project Settings and chose frames. Ctrl-clicked on the frame display to make sure it says frames, even trashed the Prefs, but the problem persists – just a straight progression of frame numbers without being divided into min,sec,frames.
Thanks for your thoughts . . .

Hi Doug,
Little button at top right of Sequence opens a drop down, deselect “Audio Time Units” if selected

Go to Project>Project Settings>General and then change Display Format from Frames to Timecode.

Jeff and John-Michael, thank you both for your responses.
Toggling between Frames/Timecode in General Settings has no effect. I’ve also restarted, and created new sequences, to no effect.
Toggling Show Audio Time Units in the Sequence drop-down switches it between raw frame numbers when it’s off (no min,sec,frames) and complicated numbers (00:06:47.874) when it’s on.
All timelines in all panels are only showing a cumulative frame count, with no division into minutes and seconds. It’s probably the result of me accidentally hitting a wrong keyboard command or something . . .

Check Sequence > Sequence settings and change the display format there. The sequence’s Timecode display settings override the general.

Thank you. In my Sequence Settings, for Display Format, Frames is the only option. Why would this be?

That is very odd…. I shall do a little exploring.

Did a little digging. What is the Timebase is your sequence set to? When the Timebase is set to a non TV standard timebase (such as 10fps 12fps 14.71fps.. premiere supports anything,) “frames” is the only option.
I’ve had cellphone videos with odd frame rates… what are you editing?

Ah, thank you. 10fps. Screen capture from a computer. So I’ll just have to deal with frame numbers up to infinity on this one. It gets output to 30fps at the end, so maybe I need to work in 30fps also. Thanks for your research, I really appreciate it!

Thank you so much, reading this was so helpful. I was facing the same challenge but this came thru for me. God bless you. With love from Nigeria
