Change the time, tempo, and clock format
1 Choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Display (or use the Open Display Preferences key command).
2 Choose one of the following settings in the Display Time as pop-up menu:
•
With Bits: Subframes (SMPTE bits 0 to 79) are shown.
•
Without Bits: Subframes are not shown.
•
With Quarter Frames: Quarter frames are shown.
•
As Feet Frames, 35 mm lm: The display is displayed in feet and frames, for 35mm lm.
•
As Feet Frames, 16 mm lm: The display is displayed in feet and frames, for 16mm lm.
•
With Milliseconds: The frame fractions are displayed in milliseconds instead of SMPTE bits (also
called subframes). Remember that this value is dependent on the frame rate: at 25 fps, a frame
is 40 milliseconds long, at 30 fps, approximately 33 ms.
•
With Samples: Frame fractions are shown as sample values.
•
With Frames and Samples: Both fractional frame and sample values are shown.
3 Select the “Zeros as spaces” checkbox if you want zero values to appear as blank spaces, rather
than the number 0 in SMPTE time displays.
4 Choose one of the following settings in the Display Tempo as pop-up menu:
•
Beats Per Minute (BPM, Maelzel): Beats per minute, to four individually adjustable decimal places.
•
BPM without Decimals: Beats per minute, with no decimal places.
•
Frames Per Click with Eights: Frames per beat with eighths. After the value, you will see fpc.
•
Frames Per Click with Decimals: Frames per beat, to four decimal places. Take care, as this display
can easily be confused with the bpm display.
5 Choose a clock format from the Clock Format pop-up menu
