# inputTime(_:fromTimelineTime:)

Converts from timeline time to time of the filter’s image input.

## Declaration

```swift
func inputTime(_ inputTime: UnsafeMutablePointer<CMTime>!, fromTimelineTime time: CMTime)
```

## Parameters

- `inputTime`: The converted time, in CMTime.
- `time`: The timeline time, in CMTime.

## Mentioned in

Understanding time in FxPlug

## Discussion

Discussion In Motion, this timeline time and input time are always equal. In Final Cut Pro, this method provides the calculated input time for any given timeline time. For more information about how to handle time conversion, see Understanding time in FxPlug.
