Hello,
I am a video editor and am trying to figure out how to get Excel 2000 to
calculate the difference between two frames of video...
Let me explain: all frames of digital video have a timecode which is
expressed as the SMPTE value and is shown as hh:mm:ss:ff where ff are
frames (25 frames per second in PAL, 30 frames per second in NTSC).
I want to take a value such as 00:32:43:10 and subtract 52 seconds and 5
frames from that (00.00.52.05) and get Excel to show me the result.
I have tried and tried and got nowhere on this, and am not sure why: now
I am appealing for your help!
Firstly, how do I format cells so that Excel can recognise this
hh.mm.ss.ff format? I can start with the
format->cells->number->special->hh:mm:ss but then what? Or should I be
looking at format->cells->number->time?
Secondly, how would I then subtract one time from another?
Any help much appreciated
Cheers
Marc
