Status line > Time Slider
The time slider shows the current frame and lets you move to any frame in the active time segment.
Procedures
To move to any exact frame in the animation, do one of the following:
Move the time slider right or left until the frame number is displayed on the time slider.
Enter the frame number into the current frame field in the time controls.
To move ahead or back a frame at frame at a time, do one of the following:
Click the increment arrows at either end of the time slider
Use the Next frame/Previous frame buttons in the time controls.
To move ahead or back many frames at a time:
Click in the empty track to either side of the time slider. The time slider will jump to your cursor position. This is a faster way of moving in time than dragging the time slider.
To move to the first or last frame of the active time segment:
Use the time control buttons Go to Start or Go to End.
To display SMPTE time code on the time slider:
Click Time Configuration in the time controls, and then under Time Display, choose SMPTE.
To display subframes on the time slider:
Click Time Configuration in the time controls, and then under Time Display choose Frames:TICKS or MM:SS:TICKS.
Each frame is divided into subframes.
Interface
By default, the active time segment is from frame 0 to frame 100. The slider bar displays time in frames, SMPTE numbers, or other measurements, depending on the current setting in the Time Configuration dialog.
The slider bar displays the current frame, followed by a slash (/), followed by the total frames in the active time segment. For example 25/100 means frame 25 of 100 frames. The current frame also appears in the current frame field. If animation exists in the scene, it's played back as you drag the time slider.
The buttons on either side of the time slider bar move one frame to the left and one frame to the right, like the Previous Frame and Next Frame buttons in the time controls. If Key Mode Toggle is on, these buttons duplicate the Previous Key and Next Key buttons.
Key Mode can jump to all the keys or only the transform keys, depending on the Key steps setting in the Time Configuration Dialog.
