Short: Time code/Frame calc & units converter Author: dan@chaos.mcs.mu.edu (Daniel S. Milling Jr.) Uploader: dan chaos mcs mu edu (Daniel S Milling Jr ) Type: os20/util Architecture: m68k-amigaos RenderCalc v1.46 is an update to v1.41. RenderCalc incorporates three tools into one program: - The ability to calculate the number of animation frames needed to represent a moving object of known speed and known linear distance travelled. - The ability to quickly and easily convert numbers between different common units of length. - Timecode calculator which will easily and quickly calculate timecode durations from in and out points as well as calculate an out point from an in point and a duration. Conversions may be done interchangeably between the three supported timecode formats. NEW FOR VERSION 1.46: - Added the ability to add or subtract either timecode values or decimal frame number values to or from any of the timecode inputs, in the Timecode Input section. This operation is relative to the current timecode type selected. When doing timecode calculations, this can come in quite handy. - Changed the manner in which the Shareware Notice appears. It has now become a bit LESS annoying (when was the last time you saw that happen...) The notice has now become a nice requester which may be closed at any time. Read the documentation and history files for more info regarding this. - One minor bug was removed. (See the history file for details.) - Changed the TIMECODE TYPE selection to a cycle gadget and temporarily removed the SMPTE non-drop frame item. - When any timecode value is entered into any of the three timecode input gadgets, the timecode value is expanded. This means that if the value '123' was entered, the expanded value would be '00:00:01:23' which would replace the entered value in the string gadget. This makes the entered value more readable. - Two new informational text boxes have been added. Since two of the program functions have multiple output modes, these two text boxes will now tell the user which is the current mode. - A number of things were moved around and one button was removed. -- **************************************************************************** Daniel S.
