When Fade out or in is added to a video, and I adjust the duration to be really small, if I go down from 1:00 the next value is 0:29.

Is that correct?

If the last value is milliseconds, shouldn't that be 999 or 99?

Usually the last number indicates the frames in a second.

I

your project uses 30 (or 29.9) frames x seconds

this mean that 0:29 is almost a second.. and 1:00 is a second.
i suggested some time ago to have a secondary timeline view with tenths of seconds.

Thanks, that is kind of strange that the duration expression mixes time and frames. IMO it's just plain confusing. Would be better to have one field for the time expression and another for the "frames in second", so both could be independently configured. Also it's not clear in the UI that the last portion of the expression is for "frames in second".

Actually, this is the standard in the industry

The smallest increment in a video is the frame. You measure in frames per second (fps), so there is no point in showing tenths of a second or milliseconds.

Could the GUI be better to make it easier to differentiate this for ppl new to video editing? Perhaps. Davinci and Vegas PRO are also not that much better in that department, btw.

Good to know, I'm not in the industry of video editing, just trying to edit some training videos for my students
