slows the media in a track.

non–drop frame A timecode-counting method

that reflects 30 fps instead of the more accu-

this method of counting frames is not dura-

tion accurate, but each number correctly

accounts for each frame without skipping

ahead, as drop frame does. See drop frame.

Phase alternating line (PAL) timecode is tech-

nically non–drop frame because it is precisely

25 fps, hence no need for drop-frame timecode.

nonlinear Pertaining to the ability to assemble

materials from any point in the sequence.

nonlinear editing A nondestructive, random-

access type of editing in which you do not

need to assemble the program chronologically

from beginning to end.
