An editor working with, say "four frame handles", has an extra four frames at the start and end of every shot. Working with handles means that animators have to do a little extra work, but it gives the editor flexibility with the final edit.
Working with Handles
In film, handles are also known as head material and tail material. Working with handles is something we recommend for all our students working on short films. However, it does create a little extra complexity for editors and animators, and means that the working length of every shot in the film will be a little longer than it will finally appear in the reel.
