MC 2.3 does not appear to accept standard QT time values:
set the starttime of player 1 to "00:00:01:23"
... generates a script error: expected integer.
But these integer values are for the timeScale, which has no direct
correlation to the frame rate. For example, I have some animation files
here with a timeScale of 600, a frame rate of 4, and a duration of
"00:00:01:00".
So, given only a time code and a timeScale value, how does one accurately
set the startTime, endTime, and currentTime properties to a particular time?
Hope I didn't miss something too obvious (was up kinda late, needing a
nap)...
