Hi all,

As you know, all runs will be frame timed, to provide an accurate leaderboard. This post aims to clarify how to find the key frames for "No Coins" category.

Start

Start: Timing Time begins when you press "Play!" (main menu) or "New Game" (pause menu) Key frame: first frame the coin counter shows 0

It is possible that the menu already vanishes a few frames earlier, in that case also the frame when the coin counter shows "0" is the first frame. If the start itself is not visible, take 0 as start.

End

End: Time ends when you pick up a coin or die Key frame: First frame counter shows 1 or more coins OR first frame the counter is not visible anymore

Picking up a coin:

Dying:

If the end itself is not on video, let the video finish and take that as end frame.

Calculating time between start and end frame

Now that you have the two key frames, how to measure the time between them?

• Youtube: You can navigate with "." and "," until you find the right frames and then put them in here: https://retime.mcbe.wtf/ Be sure to get the right FPS and it will calculate the time between the start and end frame.
• Video editing software: Usually some kind of timer is available which can be used to count frames or time directly. There's VSDC for example which is free and has a timer available.
• Twitch, TikTok etc.: Download the raw video and progress using the method above.

If you're not sure about your time, don't worry, as all times will be checked in the approval process.
