# Displaying Feet and Frames in the Timeline

Traditional animation for TV and film is often measured in feet. The number of feet of film measurement is a handy way for animators to judge their output based.

There are 16 frames per foot of film.

If you are accustomed to working in a traditional environment, animating for film and TV, the “feet and frames” measurement on the Timeline window might be a more familiar reference point for you to use.

To display “feet and frames” in the Timeline window:

1. Open the Preferences dialog box. Select Toon Boom Studio > Preferences.

The Preferences dialog box opens.

2. Click the Interface tab.

3. From the Time Measurement drop-list, select Feet and Frames and click OK.
