Time Conventions

These time conventions are used in throughout David's preview players. Specifically, the advanced editing options are applicable for both the Subclip Editor and the RoughCut edit.

Audio

The time follows the following conventions:

hh:mm:ss.ms, where h = hour, m = minute, s = second, ms = millisecond. e.g. 00:00:04.036

Entering Marker and Tone Positions

It is not required to write colons while editing the maker times. Instead, use the shorthand conventions below.

Example	Shorthand	Results in Subclip Editor
Example	Shorthand	Standard Notation	Description
No need for colons or periods.	2010005	00:20:10.005	20th minute, 10th second, 5th millisecond
Seconds shorthand	1.	00:00:01.000	first second
	24.1	00:00:24.001	24th second, first millisecond
Minute shorthand	2:	00:02:00.000	2nd minute
	32:55	00:32:55.000	32nd minute and 55th second

Hence any leading zeros and colons are optional and not required.

Setting Relative Markers

Prefix	Example	SubClip Function
+	+1.1	Adds desired time (01.001) to the previous mark time
-	-1::.1	Moves the marker to the left by the desired time (01:00:00.001).

Video

The time follows the following conventions:

hh:mm:ss:fr, where h = hour, m = minute, s = second, fr = frame. e.g. 00:00:05:11

Entering Marker and Playhead Positions

It is not required to write colons while editing the maker times. Instead, use the shorthand conventions below.

Eample	Shorthand	Results in RoughCut Edit
Eample	Shorthand	Standard Notation	Description
No need for colons or periods.	2010005	00:20:10:05	20th minute, 10th second, 5th frame
Seconds shorthand	1:	00:00:01:00	first second
	24:1	00:00:24:01	24th second, 1st frame
Minute shorthand	2::	00:02:00:00	2nd minute
	32:55:	00:32:55:00	32nd minute, 55 second

Hence any leading zeros and colons are optional and not required.

Setting Relative Position

Prefix	Example	RoughCut Function
+	+1:1	Adds desired time (01:01) to the playhead position
-	-1:::1	Moves the playhead to the left by the desired time (01:00:00:01).
