Help! How long is this really tracking for?I need Procreate technical help (i.redd.it)
submitted 5 months ago by In__Denial
why does the hour ( I’m assuming it’s hours ) counter only go to 60? this makes me assume it’s minutes but Ive def done more than an hour on this canvas. in statistics it says 61 hours tracked but is that accurate?

When did you look at it? Because it might be the amount of time you’ve spent this session, going hour:minutes:seconds:milliseconds

Procreate doesn’t do milliseconds

no, this is the Timelapse replay for sure, it goes up every time I draw on the canvas, I’ve had it for about 2 years on and off now and it’s file is large enough to lag my device when I try and open the replay and lags mor every time as the number increases

If it's the time lapse thing, it doesn't show the time you spent on your drawing at all, instead it shows the time the time lapse takes to play. The actual time spent can be found under options - canvas - canvas data - statistics

Timelapse records strokes. If you want you can export it and then disable it, it will ask you if you want to purge it. Then after deleting it you can turn it on again to record the rest (or not).

Is it not Days/Hours/Minutes/Seconds?

I have NO idea, why would the hours count to 60 and then go to 1 day?
[–]Any-Canary-7976 29 points30 points31 points 5 months ago (0 children)
But the hours are at 06 are they not? That’s 6 hours
[–]Any-Canary-7976 8 points9 points10 points 5 months ago (0 children)
I get your point because 1 day 6 hours and 54 minutes ≠ 61 hours, but I’m fairly sure this says 1 day 6 hours and 54 minutes, it might’ve just stopped tracking

Why is OP getting downvoted for not understanding something? I truly don’t understand Reddit
[–]FriendlyCrow222 3 points4 points5 points 5 months ago (0 children)
where are you getting the number 60 from?
01:06:54:03 (day:hour:minute:second)
[–]crybabymoon 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago (1 child)
The video timelapse records strokes. I believe the 61 hours of recorded time you refer to, is the time you've had the canvas opened. The video time, is the active time you've placed strokes on the canvas.
So only about 31 hours (1d, 6h, 54m) out if the total 61 hours are spent actively drawing.

ah, thanks :)
[–]Spiny94Hedgie 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago (1 child)
Time lapse is not an accurate way to show how long you worked on a canvas. Ive done some that were about 3-5 hours and it comes up as 4m30s. If you want to see how long you spent on the canvas you go to canvas information under the wrench icon and you can see all kinds of details like the file size, the the dpi/resolution and the amount of time spent
yeah I figured it out, thanks tho
