Re: [Avid-L2] TC# to Frame# translation

 

not anywhere close. I need a column that converts the TC to a corresponding frame number. The file images sequences do not start at 0. Like I mentioned in my original post, if the master clip has a starting TC of 2:00:00:00 then the image sequence has a starting frame number of 172800.

Because I need to make pull list that refer back to frame ranges in image sequences. And while there is the DPX and VFX columns it looks like I will have to fill out each one at a time. And I have 3857 master clips. I could really use a bin column that I can duplicate TC into and have it automatically generate the corresponding frame number. Maybe I'm overlooking it. Does anyone know of a simple way to get this done in Media Composer?
