I was wondering if anyone would be interested in coding a script that works similar to "Go to time" function in After Effects:
In AE I have a shortcut that pop up the window with the timecode already selected, so you just have to modify or type a simple operation to jump the selected number of frames or even seconds or minutes.
Here's the syntax:
to jump 12 frames forward you type "+12"
12 frames backwards "+-12"
1 second "1."
1 minute "1.."
1 hour "1..."
Especially when working with motion graphics I already know how many frames i need for certain tasks, so it would be quite useful. I now usually work with markers that i drag over the timeline but sometimes it becomes quite tricky. So it would be cool to have something similar

Re: Go to Time (idea for a script)
I think I could do something like that. The only problem is that it's currently not possible to make a text widget with a text that is already selected, so what we can do is an empty text box. Or a text box with some text that you'll have to manually clear out. Or create a different UI with multiple choices of jumping to a frame, time, plus-minus, or anything else. Invent!

Re: Go to Time (idea for a script)
Stan would be great! I think the selected text feature is not important, I wanted just to describe how the widget works in AE.
A very simplyfied version would surely do the job.
In my opinion a empty text field is suitable, also no need to go for minute o hour syntaxes.
The only functions required could be going back or forth a certain number of frames, and the ability to set a shortcut to quickly recall the widget.
That's all!

Re: Go to Time (idea for a script)
So, after a short collaboration with Penny, we came up with a tool that allows you to navigate the timeline by a number of frames or seconds, or to jump to a particular timestamp.

Re: Go to Time (idea for a script)
That's pretty neat, guys! Will give it a try this evening.
Update: Tried it yesterday and, yes, this tool should be useful! Thanks for creating it.

Re: Timeline Navigator (New Script)
Let's be honest, Stan did all the hard work, and of course it's amazing! I only gave the idea The main feature is the frame jumper, no more manual skips and no more errors counting! I always wanted that! the other functions are like bonuses but they can help you in certain situations
Thanks a lot Stan!
