i have a problem with pretty much every temporal field in after effects. every box where i would normally input a frame number is displaying the time in minutes,seconds,msecs format instead of just the frame number. there must be a global switch somewhere in the preferences that switches those fields to display time as the frame number, but i can't find it.
for example, suppose i wanted to jump to frame 100. i divided 100 by my composition frame number (24 for example) and found out that frame 100 is actually 4 seconds 5 milliseconds (base 30), so i had to write 4:05
it's an awful method and inaccurate when you have to round, there must be a way to insert frame numbers instead of timecodes.
thanks for your help!
