Duration in time instead of frames

lukasS

Hi 🙂

is it possible to see how long an animation runs in the spine editor?
Inside the code I can use

animation.getDuration();

but in the editor I only see the number of taken frames.

Any ideas? Thanks a lot 🙂

Which runtime?

Frames really only exist in the editor.
The runtimes and the json format stores all time information in seconds.
So what you're reporting is strange.
Are you possibly using a third-party runtime?

frames*30=duration

thanks for your replies. I'm using libgdx and I already expected that spine uses 30 fps to calculate the duration, thanks for the confirmation. But I'm a little bit confused, the spine-editor displays 60 fps in the top right corner.

ehm I think it should be: frames/30 = duration, my 100frames long animation endures 3,333 seconds.

that's the fps in editor. Spine animations are 30 fps. 30 frame = 1 second, no matter the (editor) fps. 60fps in game or editor, means the animation will interpolate twice per frame.

and woops yes

Every 30 frames on the dopesheet marks 1 second. (I've actually requested before that this be made clearer, especially since the underlying system is in seconds anyway.)
30 is 1 second.
60 is 2 seconds.
90 is 3 seconds. etc...

The framerate counter on top is an actively changing render/update framerate indicator, similar to a framerate counter you'd see when debugging and benchmarking games. It can go up to 144 fps if your monitor supports it. It has nothing to do with your dopesheet.
