Animation Previews, QT Player 7.2 and... Frame Numbers?

As an animator/vfx artist/motion graphics artist working on film projects, there is a very good reason to render your animation previews as .mov.

It can display frames (not just hh:mm:ss).

Why should you care about this seemingly small detail? Because when you're getting your work reviewed by your client (or instructor), you need to know exactly what they are looking at and very often this is communicated to you over the phone or through email. There are 24-30 places between each second marker for your client to be talking (ranting) about and it can really help speed up the review process to know exactly what they're pointing out.

How to use it?

Simply click on the timecode area and select frames.
