Operation Types
Four Operation types are selected from a popup menu:
• Delete – The Duration between the Start and End Times is deleted.
• Insert – The Duration between the Start and End Times is inserted.
The inserted section is blank; it contains no automation data.
• Move – This consists of two operations: a delete from the Start to the End Time
followed by an insert of the same data at the time designated in the to field, which
appears to the right of the Move operation field.
• Copy – This consists of two operations: a copy from the Start to the End Time
followed by an insert of the same data at the time designated in the to field, which
appears to the right of the Move operation field.
When the Operation field is selected, typing m, i, c, or d on the keyboard selects Move,
Insert, Copy, or Delete, respectively.
Time Display
Click the button labeled FeetFrames or SMPTE (above the Start Time field) to toggle
between formats. Figure 13-15 shows the Conform screen with SMPTE times.
If Feet+Frames is selected:
• Entering a number into the Frames field larger than 16 will be converted auto-
matically into FeetFrames.
• Entering a single number, instead of two numbers separated by +, is assumed
to be Frames and is automatically converted to FeetFrames.
If SMPTE is selected:
• The number entered is parsed in two-digit intervals starting from the right. For
example, if 321215 is entered, the field is resolved to 00:32:12:15.
• Enter two-digit numbers separated by : and they will be parsed right to left. For
example, if 12:34:22 is entered, the field is resolved to 00:12:34:22.
• If a number greater than 59 is entered into the seconds or minutes field, it is
properly converted. For example, if 12:78:14 is entered, the field is resolved to
00:13:18:14.
• If a number greater than or equal to the FPS value stated in the upper right of
the Conform screen is entered into the Frames field, it is properly converted.
At 24 FPS, if 12:18:32 is entered, the field is resolved to 00:12:19:08.
• The maximum number that can appear in the hours field is 23.
