Frame Type
The Frame Type drop-down menu allows for the cadence and temporal subdivisions of the feet & frames counter
to be changed independently of the Composition frame rate or incoming timecode. By far the most popular foot-
age counter temporal rate is 24 fps which corresponds to a standard 35 mm frame rate, but you may also need to
compensate for picture that has been accelerated frame-for-frame (24=>25 fps) or pull-down frame rates (23.98
film) so that feet & frame values actually match frames in the Timeline regardless of the Composition’s or incoming
TimeCode’s frame rates. The Use Composition frame rate button locks the feet & frames counters to the Composi-
tion frame rate.
