Re: [Avid-L2] Re: (now) 60P TC (was) hate the new timeline audio monitoring

 

Ok, for the records:
Here is some pseudo code for those interested:

--Example, the next routine changes

--"23:12:54;53"

--into

-- "23:12:13;07"

--Using QT to set the new, lower TC results in the correct TC (23:12:54;53)
to display in FCP

on Recalculate theTC

Mycolorsystem = "NTSCDF"

fr = TCtoFrames(theTC)

Mycolorsystem = "NTSCnDF"

fr2 = TCtoFrames(theTC)

correction = (fr2 - fr)

Mycolorsystem = "60DF"

correctedTC = framestoTC( getframes(theTC) - correction)

return correctedTC

end

on getframes theTC

hours = value( theTC.char[1..2] )

minutes = value(theTC.char[4..5] )

seconds = value( theTC.char[7..8] )

frames = value(theTC.char[10..11] )

totalMinutes = 60 * hours + minutes

frameNumber = 216000 * hours + 3600 * minutes + 60 * seconds +
ames - 2 * integer(totalMinutes - totalMinutes / 10)

-- Note, this is a custom routine to counteract FCP madness. for correct
5994 frames it should read

-- frameNumber = 216000 * hours + 3600 * minutes + 60 * seconds +
ames - 4 * (totalMinutes - totalMinutes / 10) return framenumber

-- Mind the - 2 * vs - 4 * !!!

end

That was fun :-(

I've done 720P in FCP mastering to HDCAM SR. Not a joyride by any stretch of
the imagination.
