Frame Info

Displays information on the current video frame being previewed or rendered. This plug-in will help you understand the resolution and color space of your clip. It can display the current timecode, frame number and frame rate.

Compatibility

Frame Info is compatible with Final Cut Pro, Motion, Premiere Pro and After Effects.

Parameters

Presets

Presets contain a snapshot of your effect configuration. 3 built-in presets are available.

When you save parameter configuration to a file on disk, this file can later be loaded to recreate the same effect configuration. Presets generated in one video application can be used by the same plug-in running in a different video application.

Working with the Presets Menu

Media

Media

Turn on to allow media Resolution, Scan and Color Space to be displayed as an overlay, in the output.

Resolution

Display the resolution of the current video frame. This number may vary if the host is previewing at half, quarter resolution, or less.

Scan

Displays a p or i next to the resolution to indicate whether the footage is progressive or interlaced.

Color Space

Displays the current working color space, as best identified by the plug-in.

The working color space affects video frames fed by the host application to the plug-in. It is often different than the color space in use by your sequence or project.

Effects applied to your video are usually processed in this color space, though a large number of other factors influence this decision. For example, older plug-ins may support only 8-bit color processing. Some plug-ins opt to process video information in gamma-corrected color spaces even when the host application is capable of linearized RGB. These, and other factors, combine to ultimately decide what working color space is used by any given plug-in.

Frame

Frame

Turn on to allow Current Frame, Total Frames and Frame Rate to be displayed as an overlay, in the output.

Timecode

Timecode

Turn on to display the current Timecode in the output.

Format

Lets you tell the effect whether your project is using drop-frame timecodes.

This parameter is only available in Final Cut Pro and Motion, since those video applications do not provide this information to the effect. In Premiere Pro and After Effects the effect can obtain the current timecode format directly from the application.

Style

Font

Font parameter set to PT Mono by default. The first popup menu allows you to choose a font family. The second popup menu allows you to choose a typeface among those supported by the font:


Font family and style

Single line

Displays all output information on a single line. When disabled, each piece of information is displayed on its own line.

Margin

This parameter controls the distance of all overlays from the edges of the frame.

Text

Color set to
white by default.

Background
