Timecode fields�such as the prominent one at the bottom of the player�do not require you to enter a full timecode value. There are some short-hand ways to enter time values. First of all, a number with no colons (e.g., 100) is a frame number. Remember, frame numbers start at 0; so 100 is the 101-th frame! Including a colon (:) makes it interpret as timecode (HH:MM:SS:FF where FF = frames) or a clock value (HH:MM:SS.MS where MS = milliseconds or any fraction of a second). The difference between the two is that the last field is delimited by a colon or decimal point (a comma in some locales). Next, not all of the fields of the time value need to be included. For example, you can enter �::1.0� for one second. However, not all of the separators need to be included - they are evaluated from right-to-left. Thus, for our example, �1:� is short for one second; however, �:1.0� or �:1.� is also one second but not �1.0� because it does not contain a colon. �:1.5� is one and a half seconds. �1::� is one minute. �1:30:� is one minute and thirty seconds. �1:::� is one hour.
