Description

Player property; determines the time scale, in units per second, that the system uses to track digital video cast members. Read/write.

The digitalVideoTimeScale property can be set to any value you choose.

The value of this property determines the fraction of a second that is used to track the video, as in the following examples:

• 100--The time scale is 1/100 of a second (and the movie is tracked in 100 units per second).
• 500--The time scale is 1/500 of a second (and the movie is tracked in 500 units per second).
• 0--Director uses the time scale of the movie that is currently playing.

Set digitalVideoTimeScale to precisely access tracks by ensuring that the system's time unit for video is a multiple of the digital video's time unit. Set the digitalVideoTimeScale property to a higher value to enable finer control of video playback.

Example

This statement sets the time scale that the system uses to measure digital video to 600 units per second:

-- Lingo syntax
_player.digitalVideoTimeScale = 600

// JavaScript syntax
_player.digitalVideoTimeScale = 600;
