# minimumTime

The timestamp for the first timed data sample in the transform component.

## Declaration

```swift
var minimumTime: TimeInterval { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Timed data is clamped to the minimum and maximum times. If you request transform data for a time sample before the minimum time, Model I/O returns the transform at the minimum time. If the transform component does not contain timed information, this property’s value is zero.
