The
timecode calculator allows to perform basic calculation (addition /
substraction / multiplication / division) on video timings as well as
video conversions between different formats. Perform calculations Calculations are carried out as in a common calculator. However, negatives values are not allowed. You can enter the numbers from the calculator's keypad with the mouse. You can use the memory functions for simple calculations. MR is used to retrieve the value in memory. M+ adds the current value to the value in memory. M- substract the current value of the memory. MC will clear the memory. Perform format conversions You can perform conversion on a calculated value or an input value between several formats To convert a value from one format to another, choose the desired format from the drop down list. The following formats are available: - Timecodes: Timecodes are stored according to the "hh:mm:ss:ff" notation (hh: hours, mm: minutes, ss: seconds, ff: number of frames) 60 frames per second 69.94 frames per second (non-drop frame) 59.94 frames per second (drop frame) 50 frames per second 29.97 frames per second (non-drop frame) 29.97 frames per second (drop frame) 25 frames per second 24 frames per second 23.98 frames per second (non-drop frame) 23.98 frames per second (drop frame) - Feet lengths (expressed in feet:frames): Feet lengths are stored according the "ft:frms" notation (ft - number of feet, frms - number of frames). 70 mm 15 perf 70 mm 8 perf 70 mm 5 perf 35 mm 4 perf 35 mm 3 perf 16 mm 2 perf 16 mm 1 perf 8 mm 1 perf - Metric lengths (expressed in meters.centimeters): Metric lengths are stored according to the "m.cm" notation (m - number of meters, cm - number of centimeters). 70 mm 15 perf 70 mm 8 perf 70 mm 5 perf 35 mm 4 perf 35 mm 3 perf 16 mm 2 perf 16 mm 1 perf - Number of frames. |
