Looking for any information anyone has on how Scenarist converts Frames to Duration times...

When creating scripts via SceneAid I can verify my frame counts are accurate to dvd2avi's frame count info but for around 15-20% of the assets imported I'm off by 1frame in the scenarist timeline- for example, 307 frames converts to 00:00:10:07 but Scenarist sees it as 00:00:10:06 (all NTSC projects)

Doesn't seem to be a dropframe issue or framerate issue that I can tell....

Anyone have any suggestions/thoughts on where the extra frame is going to in Scenarist?

Found my own answer...

partially that my drop-frame/pulldown forumulas were off

that and Scenarist apparently considers 00:00:00:00 frame1 so frame count will always be 1 less then actual
