Docs Time & sequencing

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.

◷ Time & sequencing Toolbar button

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.
