	Query the ‘drop frame’ flag of the movie’s timecode format.
frameCount / f		bool
	Query the number of frames in the movie file
frameDuration / fd		bool
	Query the frame duration of the movie’s timecode format.

numFrames / nf		bool
	Query the whole number of frames per second of the movie’s timecode format.
