Re: [Avid-L2] Actual duration in a 23.98 Project?

John,

I usually have set up in the TimeCode window a separate display line for
Mas 30 DF. This gives me both the 23.98 TC as in the master sequence and
what its equivalent is in 30 DFTC (real running time) *provided* that my
program starts at the exact head of the sequence. Makes it easier I think
when you're laying out a cut to know exactly how far away you are from
44:50 running time.

And yes, the center duration (and I/O in the timecode window) show the
count at 24TC regardless.
