Timeline units

[david50B9]

It would be amazing if we could choose from, say at least three different ways to display the units of time in the timeline.  Frames.  Seconds.  Minutes.  Do you know what 109 seconds is in terms of minutes and seconds?  It's just basic math.  People do it all the time and I'm sure you could figure it out if you had to.   And guess what?  In Adobe Animate you HAVE TO.  DO MATH. ALL THE TIME.  I was never a Mac-boy, but Jobs had it right when he called your company out for being lazy.  You bring laziness to an artful level.  Sickening.

For what it's worth, it's relatively recently that there was seconds. Previously it was only frames, now you see seconds as well.

Which I think means that it's not out of the question to add minutes as well.

Hi Colin,

This is Flash 8's Timeline:

It's neat and also has seconds. Now the UI is bloated with the top bar 3 times thicker.

[Colin Holgate]

That's true. I was refering to the timeline itself.

Yeah, I know, Colin!

In Animate times we've seen a lot of unnecessary cosmetic stuff, which brings nothing to the UX, while so many needed features are either broken of very poorly implemented.

Try to keep the math simple.
