End spinners to whatever you want. This allows
you to keep your scene range locked to its native
length, and still provides flexibility for mapping an
arbitrary scene range to an arbitrary Video Post
range.

of scene frames as Video Post frames. You can set
theVideoPostrangeintheExecuteVideoPost
dialog.
