Create a new subcategory "design/architecture/time" and rearrange several pages related to time handling and time codes. NOTE: starting with this changeset, a ''Link-Farm'' is required for cross-links; since we don't have an automatic solution for this task yet, I have created the necessary forwarding pages manually in the website repository.

Time Handling

=============

// Menu : sort children
|
|
// Menu : attach child TimeQuant after TimeUsage
|
|
// Menu : append child TimeMutation

While Lumiera will be able to handle various kinds of different content and data,
|
|
the task of _editing_ implies to arrange elements into a temporal dimension.
|
|
Thus representation of time and expression of relations in time plays a pivotal role.
|
|
|
|
At first sight, time seems to we well-known, commonplace and trivial to understand --
|
|
which however is a deception, since anything related to time, timings, duration and
|
|
time scales is notoriously difficult to spell out with precision and tricky to
|
|
handle in the practice of programming. A high-level discussion should thus
|
|
|
|
- start with an analysis of link:TimeUsage.html[usage situations]
|
|
- alignment to a pre-determined grid scale, the so called
|
|
link:TimeQuant.html[Time Quantisation] requires careful attention
|
|
- formal representation of link:TimeCode.html[Time Code] is central to film editing.
