Chor Length Oddity

This relates to Tore's post on Scene lengths.

 

Assuming a local variable isn't the cause...

 

Can anyone tell me why this Chor Length defaults to 70?

 

Recommended test:

Open Project

Crack open Chor (keyframe/dopesheet mode) in PWS

Adjust Chor length to 50.

Save

Reopen

 

I would expect the Chor length to adjust to the longest Chor Action (normal behavior) or stay at 50 (optimal).

I can't see why it comes back as 70.

 

If it doesn't open/stay at 70 for you then perhaps there is a local variable stored that is a root cause.

 

 

Update: Just as I was posting I looked at the FPS of the Project and if set to another unit (say 24) that will result in a different Chor Length default (56).

While that may answer my question I still don't know the underlying... why... The Chor Length (if manually set shorter than the longest Chor Action) is defaulting to the FPS x 2.33. The only thing I can come up with is that 2.33 might have been chosen as an acceptable (average) short shot length and then hardwired into the math that computes the minimum Chor Length. Cpuld it be possible that A:M is grabbing the 2.33 from the wrong data field/location?

Why is this Projects Chor Length defaulting to 70.prj
