# timelineTime(_:fromInputTime:)

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

## Declaration

```swift
func timelineTime(_ timelineTime: UnsafeMutablePointer<CMTime>!, fromInputTime time: CMTime)
```

## Parameters

- `timelineTime`: The converted time, in CMTime.
- `time`: The input’s 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 will provides the calculated timeline time for any given input time. For more information about how to handle time conversion, see Understanding time in FxPlug.
