Animation Units
Here you specify the time units used for animation. Your choice is from frames, seconds and SMPTE
time codes that use the format: Min:Sec:Frame.
For example, 3:20:14 refers to the time 3 minutes, 20 seconds, 15th frame. The last value in the time
code is the frame number of the current second (starting at frame 0).
Suppose you are working with a frame rate of 25 fps and the frame value is in the range of 0 to 24. If
the minutes value is 0, you can omit it when entering SMPTE time codes. For example, 15:14 means
15 seconds and the 15th frame.
