QuickTime
A toolbar clock that hands out drag-and-drop time references for parameters: resettable and scalable absTime and absFrame, frame, and a progress value for perfect loops.

Where it appears
Read off the registry hosts in the component, so this is where the tool puts itself in a default install; every one of these can be reordered or hidden from Hub.

QuickTime
Left-click the icon for a popup of common timing references, ready to drag onto a parameter:
- absTime: like
absTime.seconds, except it can be reset and scaled. - absFrame: like
absTime.frame, likewise resettable and scalable. - frame: the current frame.
- progress: the fraction
current frame / end frame, useful for lookups and perfect loops.
Multiplier scales absTime and absFrame: 1 is real time, 0.5 runs them at half speed. Right-click the icon to reach it.
Middle-click the icon to set the internal timers back to zero, the same thing as pulsing Reset on the component.
Parameters
Its Registry page comes from FNS_ConfigRegistry and FNS_ToolbarRegistry.
