change timeline multiple

Post by codegen »

This may be a simple, question, but I couldn't find it in the manual. Since I'm doing mostly video, I'm using 30fps, Any way to change the timeline ruler to be a multiple of 5 instead of 6?

That's a feature request of mine since ever, and no, not possible yet.

You can now set: Preferences > Timeline > Frame Interval to 5 (for example) - which might help a bit.

What SimplSam says is correct but also be sure to set the Start Frame To 0 in Preferences.

The default is frame 1, which is useful when you're animating on the interval (i.e., on twos or fours or whatever); but if you want to set the visual markers right on the number, setting it to 0 removes the offset.

Thanks for this. It turns out I like 3 the best as it matches up with 30, and 15.

I would also love to see this implemented. It should be fairly easy to implement and a great improvement.

I also would like this feature as I animate in 30 and 60FPS for game development projects.

Seeing how this conversation isn't posted in the feature requests section of this forum, I took the liberty to post a similar topic there so I hope that helps even a little bit.

I find it a little ironic how Moho is so smooth to work in (especially with version 14) but doesn't really accommodate smoother project frame rates of 30FPS and 60FPS in this regard.
