Term Details
Term:	Frame Handles
Subcategory:	General
Definition:	Extra frames located at the end and start of each shot of footage. The number of frame handles changes from each application. In general, they are used to get original material ready for optical printing. For instance, in optical printing, frame handles can be used to prevent printed-in dirt that often shows up next to a splice where bits of film cement have an opportunity to flake off.
