Film feet and frames conversion: foot divisor · case 04

Converted 16mm footage shows three times too many feet.

Case contract

Frames per foot: 35mm4 16, 35mm2 32, 16mm 40. An int frame count converts to "[-]F+ff" (feet, two-digit frames, sign in front for negatives); a string "[-]F+ff" converts to a signed frame count, with ff below frames per foot (else None). "-0+05" means -5.

Why this case matters

Timecode arithmetic errors misplace edits, commercial breaks and captions against the broadcast clock.
