I am trying to import an "Image sequence" generated at 29.97 fps from some animation software.
I then set the project for 29.97 fps. Import sequence. Indicate "Frame Duration =" 1 Frame.

For 57 frames, KDEnlive report the clip will last 1.27s. However, It should be 1.9 sec.

I seem to have an acceptable result at 25 fps or 50 fps (anything express in .01 of a sec) but nothing base on 60 hz.

KDEnlive 20.12.1
MLT : 6.24.0
ffmpeg
Kubuntu : 20.04.2 LTS

Just tried importing 44 frames on a 29.97 project.. and the result is 01;14 ... that mean: 1 second and 14 frames. seems ok to me.

Sorry, are you running out of some Linux or Windows?

Thanks for testing it.

Actually, the answer should be 1 sec. and 14/29.97 = .46666 sec.
So, your test seems to show the same type of error.

I have redone the exact same test on my equipment/OS. I also get 1.14sec for 44 frames.
I try with a project at 60 Fps. Importing 44 frames indicates the sequence will last .44 sec. However, it should be : 44/60 = .73333 sec

Sorry but i can't understand your tests... just tried to reimporting the 44 frames (at 29.97 frames x second) , and i set every "import" to 1 second... the result clip is long exactly 43,29 seconds.
where are you reading the tenths of a second? the 4th value on timeline are frames.. not tenths of a second

00:00:00;00 = hours/minutes/seconds/frames

Thank you very much. You solve it.
My other software just finish generating 27000 Frame now and the timing is perfect when you read the time code correctly.
You even make me investigate the others software and I discovered it has the options to report the time code the same way (instead of just frame number)

good maybe can be nice to have somewhere on the Kdenlive window that exacltly time on 0.1 of seconds (where the mouse cursor is placed).
