Question

Time rules (Displaying time seconds instead of frames)

i want to display seconds in my timeline window but i am getting still frames.Before i wrote here also i googled to fix this problem and followed the steps below :

  • Ctrl-click (Windows) the current-time display. The current-time display is in the upper-left corner of the Timeline panel and at the bottom of the Layer, Composition, and Footage panels is not worked.
  • File>Project settings>time display settings>timecode not worked

then i closed after effects and clicked shift+ctrl+alt to reset preference settings of after effects and opened a new project and new composition then i achived to showing seconds later on i bring that problem composition to the new new project but i still getting frames instead of frames in timeline.

Probably i click wrong key while i worked on my project.How can i fix this issue and recover that setting?

Thanks for your kind helping attempt.

It seems you clicked alt + mouse scroll ( Zoom in/out as the slider does in the image below )

what version exactly of Ae do you have?

so you press Ctrl and on this:

and it does not change to this?

so you say this is project related? if you create a new project, does it work? if this is project related could you upload the project so we can take a look?
