Timecode
Convert and add timecodes.
What it does
Converts, adds up and changes the frame rate of timecodes (hours:minutes:seconds:frames).
How
- Pick the frame rate. In 29.97 and 59.94, DF (drop frame) keeps the timecode in step with real time.
- Type digits only, like on an editing timeline: they come in from the right and the colons place themselves (1000 is 00:00:10:00). You can also paste a timecode. Too many frames or seconds carry over, like in Premiere or Resolve (78 frames at 25 fps = 3 s 3 frames).
- Convert: timecode, number of frames, real duration (three wheels: hours, minutes, seconds, rounded to the second) and real seconds with all their decimals; change one, the others follow.
- Calculate: a list of timecodes to add (+) or subtract (−), the total, then × or ÷ a number (a slow motion, a split).
- Change rate: the same timecode at another frame rate. Same duration: the film lasts the same, the timecode changes. Same frames: every frame is kept, so the film speeds up or slows down (24 → 25 for PAL: 4 % faster).
Drop frame
29.97 is a little slower than 30: counted at 30, the timecode drifts 3.6 seconds an hour behind the clock. Drop frame skips frame numbers 00 and 01 at the start of every minute, except every tenth minute, so the timecode matches the clock. No image is skipped, only numbers.
