Timecode not matching from timeline to viewer by one frame?
Im sure this is somthing that i just dont know, but I am confused. I am doing a show for broadcast and Im adding up my segments using a timecode calculator and drop frame. It is weird because when I add up the segments using in out points, it all adds up, but in the viewer it shows always one frame over in the viewer window. Im sure this has something to do with drop frame but I cant figure it out and I need to fill out this timesheet for the show…..any ideas?

Check your outpoints. They should be the last frame of the segment, not the first frame of black after the segments ends.
That’s probably where your extra frame is coming from. Marking in/out is actually more like marking in/in-of-next.
Avid does this too. I Mark In/Out, then go to the outpoint, back up one frame using the arrow key, and reset the outpoint to that frame.
Having the outpoint be the first frame of the next clip or whatever is good for editing, just not good for timing. Otherwise, that frame would get overwritten or shifted down to after the edit. That’s the reason it marks it like it does.
