How about a scheme where some selection of 16 shots throughout either are or aren't missing a single frame? You could number 65k unique distributions that way

How about a scheme where some selection of 16 shots throughout either are or aren't missing a single frame?
You could number 65k unique distributions that way and the overall length would rarely be affected by more than a frame or two.
It could be implemented with a pretty easy python script.
- aamar 12y agoSpeaking as a former film/tv editor, one frame here or there can definitely affect the pacing and feel of a scene. Yes, sometimes external constraints—broadcast formats, licensing issues—can force compromises, but it's still an artistic decision where to cut a frame and where to keep one. Much better to adjust coloring slightly in central but low entropy parts of occasional, appropriate frames, sort of like Omron rings[1], but designed specifically to be visually inconspicuous while surviving encoding. The newish CineFence supposedly does something like this. In any case it wouldn't be hard to improve on the horrible Deluxe code.[2] [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coded_Anti-Piracy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coded_Anti-Piracy
- zevyoura 12y agoNow I'm eagerly awaiting a colorist jumping into this conversation to tell us why that would be unacceptable. (Agreed that it's probably less of an issue to encode data in color than timing, but it just strikes me as funny how we've passed the buck from programmer > editor > colorist)
