Re: [Avid-L2] Delivery Spec Curiosity? 30 and 20 second durations?

The only reason someone would write this spec is if they were constricted to use an app that tells time in a specifically bad way. I'm sure Switch is a decent program, but if it shows a 30 second spot as 30:03, it is a total failure.

I would just ignore it. 30 seconds is 30 seconds. We're not dumb, they are.

Today's addition to my file deliveries was this note:
 
Duration: in Switch, :30 promos should be exactly :30.03, :20 promos should be :20.01 –
 these must be frame exact.
 
I do not understand this at all why would the network want the 30 second to be technically 4 frames over 30 second and the 20 second to be 2 frames over.  In my book and Avid's my last frame should be :29 given we are delivering in 29.97.  What am I missing here?  Even applying Drop vs. Non Drop it makes no sense.
