This isn't working for me. No matter how many times I control+click the time code, it still only has options for measuring frames.. not seconds. Thoughts?

It isn't though. I am in time code. I have a choice btwn 0;00;00;00 and 00000. It isn't even showing like 0:00:00:00.. I cannot figure this out and it is driving me crazy. I went to project settings> time code.

There is a bug in the 14.2 update of AE that causes issues with this in some circumstances. See post #14 in this thread.
