    Hi guys

    I am not sure if this has been suggested already. If so, let me know and I will remove the thread.

    Something that would be very useful is a small timer that appears when you press the play button while watching a replay. The timer will display the amount of time that the replay has been running since you pressed the play button. When you pause the replay, the amount of time the replay played will still be visible until you press the play button again, at which point it will reset the timer.

    The reason I am making this request is that it will be a lot easier to adjust the time keyframes if you knew how much time has elapsed in the replay since you last pressed play.

    You can position keyframes relative to the last with an accuracy of 1ms using V. Note that it'll also take the speed slider into account.
    Not sure if there's an advanced tutorial about it somewhere.

    I know about the Sync key, but in some instances especially when doing time lapses, I would like to space the keyframes out relatively evenly without having to go into each keyframe to edit the time values. A simple timer would allow us to accurately judge that a certain amount of time has lapsed.

    Basically, if I want to space the time keyframes 15 seconds apart, at this point I would have to manually adjust each of them because my own internal clock is not accurate enough to judge 15 seconds reliably.

    I have no idea if I am making any sense, it's hard to explain what I have in my mind.
