# CVTime

A structure for reporting Core Video time values.

```
struct CVTime
```

## Overview

This structure is equivalent to the QuickTime `QTTime` structure.

## Topics

### Initializers

[`init()`](/documentation/CoreVideo/CVTime/init())

[`init(timeValue:timeScale:flags:)`](/documentation/CoreVideo/CVTime/init(timeValue:timeScale:flags:))

### Properties

[`flags`](/documentation/CoreVideo/CVTime/flags)

The flags associated with the `CVTime` value. See [CVTime Values](/documentation/CoreVideo/cvtime-values) for possible values. If `kCVTimeIsIndefinite` is set, you should not use any of the other fields in this structure.

[`timeScale`](/documentation/CoreVideo/CVTime/timeScale)

The time scale for this value.

[`timeValue`](/documentation/CoreVideo/CVTime/timeValue)

The time value.
