Usage
framesToHMS(frames, tempo, dropFrame, fractionalSeconds)
Description
Function; converts the specified number of frames to their equivalent length in hours, minutes,
and seconds. This function is useful for predicting the actual playtime of a movie or controlling a
video playback device.
The resulting string uses the form
s A character is used if the time is less than zero, or a space if the time is greater than or equal

"d"
Parameters
Required. An integer expression that specifies the number of frames.
frames
Required. An integer expression that specifies the tempo in frames per second.
tempo
Required. Compensates for the color NTSC frame rate, which is not exactly 30
dropFrame
frames per second and is meaningful only if FPS is set to 30 frames per second. Normally, this
parameter is set to
fractionalSeconds
nearest hundredth of a second (
Example
The following statement converts a 2710-frame, 30 frame-per-second movie. The
fractionalSeconds
put framesToHMS(2710, 30, FALSE, FALSE)
-- " 00:01:30.10 "
