I think what Dr. Lowney is looking for is a simple way from the user
end to set arbitrary durations for individual frames... FCP4 just
handles interpolating between different timings (framerates/durations),
and ultimately will just output with a common duration for all frames.
I've wondered the same myself... I know I can get at it via QT APIs,
but short of using SMIL to display frames individually (and I'm not
sure of the accuracy of SMIL for this, as it would have to handle
preloading/buffering, etc) I don't know of another simple user tool for
this purpose.
Simple example:
You do a timelapse capture from a security camera... during the day you
want to preserve all the original frames at their original rate -- say
2fps. But during stretches of the evening, you only want to preserve
unique frames, and stretch the frame duration to cover the original
timing, while using far fewer frames.
At least this is what I want... Dr. Lowney, please correct me if I just
hijacked your thread :)
