Description

Player property; determines the time scale, in units per second, that the system uses to track

digital video cast members. Read/write.

The

digitalVideoTimeScale property can be set to any value you choose.

The value of this property determines the fraction of a second that is used to track the video, as in

the following examples:

• 100—The time scale is 1/100 of a second (and the movie is tracked in 100 units per second).

• 500—The time scale is 1/500 of a second (and the movie is tracked in 500 units per second).

• 0—Director uses the time scale of the movie that is currently playing.

Set

digitalVideoTimeScale to precisely access tracks by ensuring that the system’s time unit for

video is a multiple of the digital video’s time unit. Set the

digitalVideoTimeScale property to a

higher value to enable finer control of video playback.

This statement sets the time scale that the system uses to measure digital video to 600 units

per second:
