Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Center Duration 1 fame 1 frame longer duration than time code calculator?

 

Now for the last time....

The first example is good. The last is NOT.
That would be a single frame of black. Or, as we say here (translated), a
'blackey', similar to small negro.
That was fun when i had several refugees in my suite to review an edit. :-)

And now i'm fed up with it.

Jay,

Somehow we are not communicating here. In your example below you only show
one event. Try showing two events in an assembly list and you'll see what
I'm talking about.

In your two frame edit example below, counting 1053+13 - 1053+14 = 2 frames.
Frame 13 & 14. Very clear to me. Two physical frames and add tape to the end
to splice to the next shot.

Now let's take your video example, Frame 1:00:05:13 + 1:00:05:14 +
1:00:05:15 = 3 frames. Of course in video land the outgoing number and the
incoming number live in the same place:

Source Record
1:00:05:13 - 1:00:05:15 1:00:00:00 - 1:00:00:02
1:00:05:13 - 1:00:05:15 1:00:00:02 - 1:00:00:04

So how can two frames live at 1:00:00:02 ?????

The answer is, they can't! So the EDL should read:

1:00:00:00 (frame 1) - 1:00:00:01 (frame 2)
1:00:00:02 (frame 3) - 1:00:00:03 (frame 4)

That is what I'm talking about. From a physical universe of editing film,
actually splicing one frame to the end of another, going to a place that
describes both frames in the same place numerically makes no sense. And vice
versa.
