Hi there, do you have a template excel sheet for this?

This is based upon 30 frames per second (Digital video)
In A1 and A2 we enter as text:
01:11:27:03
01:11:23:20
In B1 and B2 we enter:
=LEFT(A1,2)/24+MID(A1,4,2)/(24*60)+MID(A1,7,2)/(24*60*60)+RIGHT(A1,2)/(30*60*60*24)
=LEFT(A2,2)/24+MID(A2,4,2)/(24*60)+MID(A2,7,2)/(24*60*60)+RIGHT(A2,2)/(30*60*60*24)
and format as Custom hh:mm:ss.00 to display:
01:11:27.10
01:11:23.67
the tenth of a second because 3 frames is a tenth of a second. In B3 enter:
=B1-B2 to display 00:00:03.43 in the same format. Finally to convert the .43 seconds into frames, in B4 enter:
=TEXT(B3,"hh:mm:ss") &":" & TEXT((B3*24*60*60-INT(B3*24*60*60))*30,"00")
to display:
00:00:03:13

I've got a template I'm using (in Excel 2003) where I need to subtract two
time-based fields from one another. (Seems simple enough). However... this is
for use @ a small post production co., where the smallest unit of measure is
not actually the more commonly referenced 'second', but rather - the 'frame'
(generally at the rate of 24 or 30 frames per second).
What I'd like to accomplish is this: a formula that takes the two timecodes
and subtracts in from out... leaving me with a duration:
EX: 01:11:27.03 - 01:11:23.20 = 00:00:03.13 (or 3 sec & 13 frames)
thanks for your help.
