About this course
In this course you run the numbers of a fictional documentary production from shoot to delivery. You convert HH:MM:SS:FF timecode into frame numbers and back with INT, MOD and TEXT, turn camera bitrates into MB per minute and GB per hour, and plan memory cards per camera. You estimate offload and finish times, size backup drives for three copies, crop a UHD master to vertical, square and cinema frames with even pixel counts, convert shutter angles into shutter speeds and calculate slow-motion screen time. Finally you check subtitle reading speed with LEN and IFS, find the maximum bitrate for a file-size cap, estimate export times and build a delivery dashboard with COUNTIFS and a chart.
