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

    I’ve used ProRes with success, but I did find that it wasn’t necessary to transcode from native as long as my footage was all the same frame rate as the sequence.

    One comment I will make though, is that Adobe Media Encoder is a more limited program than Compressor. AME has no preview window, so you can’t scrub through footage to select in and out points. This is very inconvenient for me, since my workflow involves taking short clips out of very long video files and collecting those clips into a project-specific folder. I still use Compressor to prepare my files for Premiere. Some people use a combo of Premiere’s timeline output to Media Encoder, but to me that’s much less elegant than just doing everything in Compressor.

    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 . . .

    Thanks. It may be that my computer is on the lower end of what’s recommended – a MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM. I find especially that mixing frame rates in a sequence will affect performance, more than codecs.
