both Timecode and Frames fields

When the TVP Timeline is set to Frames, I can't tell what my timecode is. When the Timeline is set to Timecode, I can't tell what frame I'm on! So I'm constantly switching back and forth.

I often need to be able to see both values. Can we have both Frames and Timecode fields on the Timeline or project view area or even on the Remote Control?

Thanks,
Sharon

do you know we can "Apply" the timecode counter in an animlayer, and so have it displayed over our animation ? the Place/Size/Font/Color/BackGround/Opacity are customizable.

first, create a new animlayer , the same length as your clip,
then in the FXStack, go to Rendering/TimeCode Generator, and tweak the settings as you want, ... + "select All" and "Apply".

of course, you can hide it for the Export, ... or not ! 8)

That is extra handy, I didn't know that was available!
