Entering Time Values

Timecode fields—such as the prominent one at the bottom of theplayer—do not require you to enter a full timecode value. There are someshort-hand ways to enter time values. First of all, a number with nocolons (e.g., 100) is a frame number. Remember, frame numbers startat 0; so 100 is the 101-th frame! Including a colon (:) makes itinterpret as timecode (HH:MM:SS:FF where FF = frames) or a clockvalue (HH:MM:SS.MS where MS = milliseconds or any fraction of a second).The difference between the two is that the last field is delimited by acolon or decimal point (a comma in some locales). Next, not all of thefields of the time value need to be included. For example, you can enter'::1.0' for one second. However, not all of the separators need to beincluded - they are evaluated from right-to-left. Thus, for our example,'1:' is short for one second; however, ':1.0' or ':1.' is also onesecond but not '1.0' because it does not contain a colon. ':1.5' is oneand a half seconds. '1::' is one minute. '1:30:' is one minute andthirty seconds. '1:::' is one hour.
