The Less-than-a-second value

Aug 14, 2012 2:06 AM

With Premier Pro, I used think that the value was 0.01 seconds, until I found out it only goes up to 24. So what is the actual value? I'm depending on this for my physics EEI.

The value with a red box around it.

    The timecode is set to hours;minutes;seconds;frames.

    If your sequence setting is 24 frames per second the timecode will show 0 to 23.

    If your sequence setting is 30 frames per second the timecode will show 0 to 29.

    So the 21 stands for 21 frames.

    As there are : (colon) in between the numbers i gather you are in PAL-land. Pal has 25 frames per second.

    NTSC has ; (semicolon) in between the numbers.

    So that is 1/25th of a second I gather.

    Thank you very much

    Mongoose,

     

    Note that you can change from the SMPT TimeCode (Hrs.;mins.;secs.;frames) to Audio Units, if you need finer adjustment for Audio, as it will be in Sample Rate, say 1/48,000th of a sec.. However, for Video, the lowest unit of time is Frame, as you cannot have partial Frames.

     

    Good luck,

     

    Hunt
