	JumpCount	Parameter for modes JumpToCue and JumpToTime. You can set the number of times your jump command needs to be executed.

warning Changing the sequence framerate may shift already existing cues!
When changing the frame rate of a sequence that already has cues in the timeline, all cues will be shifted to the next valid time code frame.
Depending on your changes, this recalculation may cause a minimal shift in cues - please inspect all your cue times after changing the framerate.
