Frame Display

This is the small frame number display sat on the top of Compose Window. It consists of 2 number fields: the left one is the current frame number of the scene, and the right one is the total frame number of the scene. This display works both as a reference tool for compose operation and as a definition command for scene length control. Note that both numbers (current frame and total frame) are user selectable and definable.

Reference Tool
Working in conjunction with Frame Slider and In/Out marks, the current frame display is to reflect dynamically the current Slider position or In/Out mark in relationship to the total frame space of the scene, so that user can use it to reference his/her composition accordingly. You can select and replace the "current" frame number with a designated number (within the current scene length) to take you to that specific frame instantly.

Definition Command
When working with scene length control, the total frame display functions as a length definition command. To modify a scene to a new length, simply select the number in this field and replace it with a new typed-in number (any number larger than one). Once the new (total frame) number is "concretized", the length of the scene is changed. Read more about this function in scene length control.
