Nondrop HD sequence to dropframe layoff for broadcast

[Shane Ross]

Yeah, saw that. Sorry I didn’t respond.

[Ronnie James] “To get a proper 23.98 NDF to DF conversion with this timecode calculator you should convert 23.98 NDF to the setting called “23.98 DF”?”

Yes…exactly. That format doesn’t exist, it is only on the calculator to make this calculation.

Dear friends in moo,

I am having a similar issue and the slug workaround that was suggested in this thread (which seems very cool) is not matching the netmedia calculator (which I am probably not using correctly), so I am asking for your sage advice. I have an HD project that is going to pbs that needs to be mastered as HDCAM 60i. I shot and edited HD 24p. The exact length I need to deliver is 56:46 (but of course). I THINK I need to adjust the film length to 56:42:13. But now I have doubt. Oh, too much doubt. Any takers? I know you all are much smarter than I am, so take the challenge.

Warmest regards,
Suzan Beraza

I get 56:42:14 in both FCP and TCCalc.
