Change timeline from seconds to minutes?
So, I'm doing a lot of audio sync. I'm listening to the wav in Media Player, and I want i.e. an arrow to appear at 3:48. Is there a way to set the main timeline to display minutes and seconds, not only seconds? That way I don't have to calculate 180+48= 228 seconds. ALL other audio/video editors etc can change display from minutes, seconds, frames etc... Some can even show multiple time stamps. Ironically, if I open the audio file for edit, that editor displays minutes/seconds.
If this is not possible at present, it should be an easy fix for an upcoming upgrade.

Just throwing my +1 for this feature into the ring.
Ohhh! I read the first request for this change is from 6 years ago! Please, implement this soon. It is very needed. :(
+1 for me too. I'm working on a 1380 second slide. I mean 23 minutes. (Now isn't that more clear?)
Yes, I need that as well. Makes adding multiple audio tracks synchronized difficult.
Almost 7 years and STILL no support on this issue!?
Maybe this is the comment that will make this happen? C'mon already!
Hello there, Zsófi!
Thank you for contributing! I love your zest for this feature and will surface your thoughts with the right team.
We acknowledge that this idea has been discussed for years, and are committed to making sure its impact and benefit for the majority of folks come first. We also evaluate where a feature stands among planned new enhancements and bug fixes.
Though there are no plans for this concept right now, we'll keep tracking requests and let you know if anything changes!
Dear Katie,
Thanks for your quick answer, I really appreciate it!
Since I did not receive a reassuring answer to my (actually, to OUR) question, I will translate the amount of time passed since the original question was posted, to Articulate's unit, that is 220.752.000 seconds. I wonder though, how much more time you need to "make a plan for this concept?" :D
I'd also like to add my voice to this request with a +1. At the very least, allow the exact same time labeling between all media. Having to constantly take the additional time out to divide seconds by 60 to help synchronize with any other media, all of which displays minutes::seconds is a huge expenditure of time in an application that already makes some simple tasks take a lot of time (e.g. aligning elements along the timeline). Thanks!
Has there been a resolution to this? Looking for a simpler solution for multiple audio clips and icon additions.
And the echoes of non action reverberate 🙄
Yup! Least we can do.
lame
