  • Easy way to calculate timeline percentage?

    Posted by Joy E reed on November 2, 2016 at 3:36 pm

    Hi, All!

    I’m wondering if there’s a simple way to calculate percentage of a timeline. Let’s say I have an 88 minute cut, and my export consistently fails at 14%. I know my problem clip is at 14%, and I’d like to navigate directly to it, but I don’t know how to translate that 14% into a timecode. Anyone have thoughts on this?

    Many thanks!

    Peace & respect,

    Thanks Dave!

    I was definitely overthinking this. Thanks for simplifying it for me. Now that I see the answer I can’t believe I didn’t figure it out before.

    I know what I’m looking for–we’re working native with WAY too many formats and I needed to narrow the haystack to find the needle.

    Thanks again for the speedy reply.

    Peace & respect,

    If you try to render the entire sequence it should balk on the offending clip(s).
