Thanks, that makes it clear. If I understand correctly, to translate into video editor terms: either 1) Per track setting and indication how many times a frame is duplicated to the output (1-3 times). Have you looked at the F_framerate or ReframeRT video effects? or 2) A video import option that does just that, duplicating frames as specified. This is available for images, where each imported image is specified to take up xx time (Settings->Preferences->Interface). Not quite the same as frames, unless the frame rate is fixed and known beforehand.
Option 2) (reframe during import) would make cut/paste easier, I think. Phyllis, any ideas if such a thing is possible?
You approach this from a technical perspective, it is not. It is a creative and informational aspect with implications. For example imagine a timeline where you can visually see that the same image is projected twice, imagine a timecode which marks A, B, C for duplicated images. Potentially the ability to mark a frame as a 2 or 3. Perfect alignment between tracks (not the nasty subframe stuff we discussed before on the bugtracker where Cinelerra is famous for and gets an entire project out of alignment). -- Stefan
