Display frame numbers in QuickTime 7's Player
Authored by: electricpig on May 15, '07 09:27:41AM

You're an Angel, I've been checking out for this with every update for years.
Only wish the first frame was 1 and not zero (I'm a compositor, not an editor or CG), but other than that, fantastic.

QT 7.1.6
OSX 10.4.9
MacBookPro Core2

Display frame numbers in QuickTime 7's Player

The first frame is #1. It displays the frame immediately to the right of the playback marker, which, when it is flush to the left, is no frame at all.

Now, if only this hint had come out last week before I spent the weekend editing some animation...

Oops. I meant the LEFT of the playback marker, not the right.

Yes - frame 1 would be better.

Unless you are en editor dealing with timecode - there's no such thing as frame zero. Nobody every uses that. Not animators, not compositors. I guess it makes sense to throw a slate in there to offset it.

Still can't get it to work yet. I'll have to try updating my software.

Unless you are a VFX person, who always makes the first frame of a quicktime the slate, and the SECOND frame match 00:00:00:01

WOO HOO!
