The millisecond counter (the last two digest of the play timer) do not display ms, but rather frames. As an example, the counter goes from 00:00:00:24 to 00:00:01:00 for a 24 FPS video. This is (I assume) not the expected behavior. If this is a real issue and requires a fix, I would be happy to contribute it myself, if someone points me to the right file. Best regards, Arne
As far as I know it is the expected behaviour, but it shouldn't be called 'milliseconds counter'. You cannot have sub-frame precision for video.
Thank you for your response. I get that you can not get sub-frame precision, but I think the interface should make it clear that the presented value is the frame number. I guess I would even prefer to have something like this 00:00:00:08 (2), where the actual time number would be the ms-value corresponding to the frame and the value in parenthesis is the frame number.
Professionals are more familiar with the HH:MM:SS:FF notation, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMPTE_timecode
I wasn't aware of this. In this case we should of course leave it like this. Would it be possible to add some sort of hover tool-tip, which clarifies the behavior for a "noob" like me? And if this value displays shows the frame number, is there another way to get the precise frametime?
Version 18.08. In the timline you can click on the counter and you see: hh:mm:ss:ff. Or you can switch to frame only.
