Re: TC accurate edits during conversions

I'd have to check and see but I'm pretty sure this occurs on NDF outputs as well. The 720p 23.98 seq. is of course NDF by nature. I could see why adding pulldown and going to a DF tape could yield said results in some places, but it shouldn't matter at the beginning of the output, before the first minute. If I insert at 00:59:50:00 (where slate starts) and then at 01:00:00:00 the first frame of picture is off by a field, how is DF involved in that? At that point it wouldn't have crossed a minute mark that skipped any TC numbers. Am I wrong? Under 1 minute DF and NDF are the same.

It seems to me to be related somehow to the the 59.94 (frames per second playback) that then is converted to 1080i 29.97 (frames per second/or 59.94 fields per second) If the Kona 59.94 pulldown out is off by 1 frame that may be translated into 1 field upon conversion to 29.97. Does that make sense? Have you ever seen this, or have you not done this type of conversion?
