This value could even be negative. I hope that helps.

This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com so glad you asked ;-). For starters, these two seem to be somewhat redundant is applied to subclips: startoffset Description An integer specifying the offset in frames from the start media value, calculated using the In point of the clip from which the subclip was created. Parents subclipinfo, clip, clipitem This is used for subclips mediadelay Description Integer specifying the starting offset (in frames) for a clipitem used in a multiclip or subclip. Parents clipitem Also, if you could shed some light on how the various Durations, Ins, Outs, Starts and Ends (for clips, clipitems, files) interact with eachother that would be fantastic. if the media and the sequence are the same framebase and no speed effect has been applied then duration = out-in = end-start. Start and end indicate when on the enclosing sequence a clipitem starts and ends. In and out indicate the portion of the given piece of media a specific clipitem represents. I've tried to diagram out the terms and their meanings here: pastedGraphic.pdf Note that in/out/inoffset/outoffset are all in the framebase of the media, and duration/start/end are in the framebase of the sequence. I purposely made the clipitems (the one in the media portion then the one in the sequence portion) different sizes. These could be the same item, just with a framerate conversion between them or a speed effect of some sort, such that out-in !=duration. Hi Rainer, That document is indeed all the documentation for the XML format. There is also a few sample applications, but I dont think there's anything special about the durations in those. What was your specific question about durations in the XML for Final Cut Pro?
