i must be missing something here. but is there a way to show your elapsed time in a movie you're editing? i only see the total duration above the timeline, but i cannot see an elapsed time. does anyone know how to show this? thanks.

seriously? that has to be one of the most important features in any nonlinear editing system. i wonder why they'd remove it.

I agree.

It may be that it wasn't so much removed as it was left out.
Version 10 is a major rewrite of the app to, among other things, add 64 bit compatibility. So maybe they just didn't get around to putting in. Hopefully, it will show up in an update.
I agree it's a pretty basic feature, though I never really liked the way it was implemented in version 9.
Let Apple know you want it back by sending feedback here:

I agree, what on earth is apple thinking?!
So we can't tell where we are up to in the movie editing process?
What a waste of time trying iMovie 10!
You can sort of figure out the time code by hitting the full-screen button in the preview, and then scrubbing around with the QuickTime viewer until you see the scene you want. It's a fairly horrible method, but if you're trying to communicate with someone about it (like "look at the bit around 7:25-7:35) it's better than nothing.
I use 'split clip' and then it will show above.
so inconvenient.
They often provide amazing technology and then pull decisions like this - no time code. Do they have anyone on their iMovie team who has ever edited video? Hard to think so...
show timecode in 10.0.2?
