How to Retime a Full RTA Run

Open up Avidemux and drag your video into it.



Go to the first frame the Mario logo appears and press "A".



Go to the first frame Mario grabs the final star and press "B".



Check the time in the bottom right corner.



Check the video source FPS




If the video is in a different framerate you can calculate how much to add to the intro by calculating (1/fps)*40 if the source video is around 30fps and (1/fps)*80 if the source video is around 60fps. Note that if you want to be as ideal as possible you need to convert to 29.914/59.828fps first and then retime.


In this specific case the source material is in 30fps, so we are going to add 1.333 to the final time.


14.47.233 + 1.333 = 14.48.566


In my personal opinion, not going through the extra hassle and just adding 1.333 for any run will simply do unless it is a world record or a really close frame war.
