CTRL + Mouse Click on the Timecode Display at the top-left of the Timeline. This action toggles the time display between Frames or Video Timecode.

When I clicked CTRL + Mouse Click on that, i got 00000, not the seconds ;/

Ah. I know what you're looking for now. Set your Time Display to Video Timecode. Then zoom deep into your Timeline view until the seconds view changes to frames. The suffix will change from 's" to "f" to denote that you are now zoomed into frame mode view.
To zoom in and out of the Timeline, use the "=" key and to zoom out, use "-".

Where can I find that option(Set your Time Display to Video Timecode.)?

I forgot to mention that you can use the shortcut, " ; ", (apostrophe) to toggle between frame-view and seconds-view in the Timeline.

Just to clarify the ";" key zooms in on the timeline, it does not change the time display from seconds to frames.

Thanks for the clarification Rick. I initially wrote "zoom" in but while doing a quick edit, I took it off for grammatical reasons. Duh!
AND I should also clarify that " ;" is obviously not an apostrophe; I meant, semicolon.

Hello Axea,
i was having the same problem and although i learned to toggle between the TIME counter and the FRAMES counter it did not seem to correct what i was seeing on the TIME LINE METER. hopefully this will work for you as it did me.
there is a COMPRESSION SCALE (not the actual name) just above the TIME LINE that was compressed for viewing the animation in greater FRAME detail. TO CORRECT, just extend the BEGINNING CURSUR and the END CURSUR to the full width of the TIME LINE and measurements will become MINUTES & SECONDS again.
see the screen grab attached. best of luck! Martin / PhantomMacs
