    It depends on what you have your fps (frames per second) set to.  The most common presets are 29.97 fps & 23.97 fps.

    So math is not my strongest area but I think if your composition is set to 29.97fps the 3 frames will be approximately one tenth of a second.

    Try clicking the Toogle Switches/Modes button, I was hours looking for an answer online, and then I just clicked the Toogle Switches/Modes button and it worked.

    The Toogle Switches/Modes buttons is this one:

    I hope it worked for you.

    Maybe you have to zoom in your timeline, but the very begin of it should say "0s" anyway.

    If you just want to be sure in which mode you are:

    The first pic have it's duration in frames, the second in seconds, the third in feet.

    You can also dynamicaly change it by ctrl-clicking (cmd-click on Mac) the timestamp in the timeline panel.

    Go to File/Project Settings and choose the time format.
