  • timeToFrames() timecode

    Posted by John Wilkins on March 29, 2008 at 3:29 pm

    I’m using timeToFrames() to produce a frame number timecode and it works as expected producing a timecode 1,2,3 etc.

    I would however prefer it if I could re-create something similar to the AE timecode where it begins at 00000 and then increments accordingly ie. 00001, 00002, to 99999.

    Any help regarding this would be appreciated?

    Cheers

    John

    The simplest would probably be just to set the project display to frames and use:

    timeToCurrentFormat(time)
