In linear edl style the outpoint is the "Next" frame to be recorded. That one frame difference is a constant point of confusion when people use edls and then type those numbers into avid timelines and see a duratin 1 frame greater. Frame 0 is a frame was the way to phrase it which makes it valid to subtract the frame before the first frame. Thanks.
