It’s not exactly either. It’s “current time” (per the Quicktime 7 dictionary)
and is related to the “time scale" of the movie.

tell application id "com.apple.quicktimeplayer"
set totalduration to duration of the_video_track
set NumberOfFrames to count frames of the_video_track
set timeScaleOfMovie to the time scale
set my_duration to (totalduration / timeScaleOfMovie)
set FPS to NumberOfFrames / my_duration
set the current_time to (current time of document 1)
select document 1 at 0 to the current_time
cut document 1
end tell

But if I could capture it either in frames or 00:00:00;00 format, I'm sure I
could work with it.

Thanks.
