Is it possible to get the timebase of a project item?

[andymees@aje]

Hey All

Just wondering if it's possible to get the timebase of a project item? I see the startTime method but am not seeing anything that relates to it's timebase.  Is there something in the QE DOM?

Thanks

Andy

No, not available today.

What would you do with that info, if you had it?

Hey Bruce

Thanks for the very quick reply. I'd like to be able to present users timecode accurate details about the source clips used in their timeline. I'm able to accurately generate that using zero point,  timebase and start/end for track items,  and was hoping to be able to do the same with respect to the track items associated source clip (project item).

Cheers

Andy

Makes sense.

Until that happy day (when we offer such info), users could try PPro's Properties panel, to provide additional info.

I might not understand what it is your looking for, but you can do this:

app.project.activeSequence.timebase

and that will give you the timebase, which is also the tpf (ticks per frame).

That'll work for a sequence, but not media (non-sequence projectItems).

You can use getFootageInterpretation() to obtain the frameRate of a projectItem.
