All the edits to the video are listed in a cut list, which the negative cutter uses to cut the workprint and original camera negative. NDF See non-drop frame timecode . negative cutter A professional who conforms the original camera negative according to a cut list or a visual reference such as a workprint or a videotape generated by the digital editing system. non-drop frame timecode Normal NTSC timecode, where frames are numbered sequentially and there are 30 frames per second, 60 seconds per minute, and 60 minutes per hour. Because NTSC's frame rate is actually 29.97 fps, non-drop frame timecode is off by 3 seconds and 18 frames per hour in comparison to actual elapsed time. See also drop frame timecode .
