Dave,
After one scrub in VLC, I could see that I would lose all self-respect if I isolated the in- and out-points that way.
Instead, I added a new delicacy to the Griddle suite; using the same ingredients as Waffle, I designed a single-column Crepe UI, which I used to easily and precisely find the telephone booth timecodes.
There are lots of obvious ways this could be tweaked/extended/fixed up. In any case, the hide-mouse-cursor in-the-grid UI still feels very “precise” (even though, in this case, an ill-advised framerate conversion makes it sometimes off by a frame).
Your correspondent,
R.M.O.

The pay phone being a subset of the phone, which is used even more commonly. It seems to be the metaphor for so many things. It also works so elegantly with cinema, overlapping with techniques like voice over and crosscutting between spaces.Do you have the whole video or at least the phone scene? I can add it to my collection.On Nov 19, 2015, at 10:37 AM, Robert Ochshorn wrote:<Screen Shot 2015-11-19 at 8.39.45 AM.png>Have you seen any Fassbinder films?
