Specifies the method for displaying time in the time slider and throughout the program (in frames, in SMPTE, in frames and ticks on page 8147, or in minutes, seconds, and ticks). For example, if the time slider is at frame 35, and the Frame Rate is set to 30 fps, the time slider would display the following numbers for the different Time Display settings: ■ Frames: 35 ■ SMPTE: 0:1:5 ■ FRAME: TICKS: 35:0 ■ MM:SS: TICKS: 0:1:800 SMPTE is the Society of Motion Picture Technical Engineers standard used to measure time for video and television production. Playback group Real Time Real Time on page 8104 causes viewport playback to skip frames to keep up with the current Frame Rate setting. A choice of five playback speeds is available: 1x is normal speed, 1/2x is half speed, and so on. The speed settings affect only the playback in the viewports. These speed settings can also be used with the Motion Capture utility on page 3798. When Real Time is off, viewport playback occurs as rapidly as possible and displays all frames. Active Viewport Only Causes playback to occur only in the active viewport. When off, all viewports display animation. Loop Controls whether the animation playback occurs only once, or repeatedly. When on, playback repeats until you stop it by clicking an animation control button or the time slider channel. When off, the animation plays once and then stops. Clicking Play rewinds to the first frame and plays again. Direction Set the animation to play forward, reverse, or ping-pong (forward and then reverse, repeating). This affects only the playback in the interactive 7570 | Chapter 25 User Interface
