# timeCode

The time code to render at.

## Declaration

```swift
var timeCode: USDStage.TimeCode { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion In automatic mode, the system reads this value to determine what time to render at. Updating this value triggers a re-render. In manual mode, this value is unused. Pass the time code directly to render(_:to:at:) instead.
