Feet.Frames
Displays the Time Scale in feet
and frames for referencing audio-for-film
projects. The Feet.Frames time display is
based on the 35 millimeter film format.
With this Time Scale, you can enter a Start
Frame based on an appropriate frame loca-
tion at the beginning of your project tape.
The Feet.Frames Ruler will then use this
value as its start reference.
To set a start frame for a session:
■ Choose Setups > Feet.Frames and enter
an appropriate start frame and click OK
(negative offsets are not supported). This
value will become the “zero point” in the
Feet.Frames Ruler.
