Thanks hello_hello for running the numbers. I'm sure TcCalc is a proper tool, but none of its options give me the time I'm after: 00:13:54:04.įor those of you that wanna check out the tool: There are more possibilities such as DF29.97, NDF30, PAL25 etc. There is also a "Film 24" window, which gives me the same result as the 23.98 window: 00:13:53:08. I probably don't fully understand the meaning of this 23TT mode too. It can (and probably will) be that this is the so-called "drop frame" timecode, but because I can't get my head around this dropframe thing (for now), I wouldn't know how to check if that's the case. Ok, in the TCCalc tool, when I put in 20000 at the frameswindow, the "23.98" window gives me 00:13:53:08. My numbers are confirmed by an online time-calculator. The conversion I do myself gives me a timecode (or should I say "running time") of 00:13:54:04, where the latter "04" is the last four frames. Okay, suppose I have a video that consists of 20000 frames. But this timecode I don't understand either.įor arguments sake, and as I am an example guy, I want to run the numbers with you guys with the following example, if you don't mind. This "TT" is supposed to be short for "True Time". 59.94fps is based on the counting method commonly used in Adobe Premiere Pro.Having read the article about the drop frame a couple of times, I am having trouble understanding it completely TBH.Īs said earlier, I probably misinterpret this "23.98" value. The time code mainly conforms to the SMPTE 12M-1 standard. Negative values are 24 hours minus that value. By pressing the "+/-" button, you can change the sign of the input value and the calculation result. The stored value is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen. The displayed value is stored in an independent memory. Press the ”m+”, ”m−”, ”mr”, ”mc” buttons to use the memory function. In the frame display mode, numbers after the decimal point are truncated and the remaining numbers are pasted. For characters that include non-numeric values, only the numerical values are pasted in order. You can copy numbers to and paste from other applications (the Calculator and Notes of the standard iPhone applications, etc.). By long-pressing the value of the calculation result, you can copy the value or paste the already copied numerical value. If you select hh:mm:ss, you can calculate the time (hours, minutes, seconds) without using frames. 29.97fps and 59.94fps use the drop frame (DF) counting method, and the others use the non-drop frame (NDF) counting method. Select the frame rate you want to change. Press the "fps" button to display the screen for selecting the frame rate. The display can be changed even during the calculation. Press the "T" button to convert the displayed value to a time code. Press the "F" button to convert the displayed value to the number of frames. For example, you can use the "-" button to find the duration between times. The calculation method is the same as a general calculator, using symbol buttons (+,-, =). To delete the displayed value character by character, press the delete button. The “C” button erases the input value and calculation result. The "AC" button erases all displayed values and calculation processes. Enter the time code and the number of frames with the number buttons (0 to 9). Automatically corrects input values and calculation results from zero to values less than 24 hours. The time code and the number of frames can be converted to each other. You can calculate the time code as if you were operating a calculator. This app is a calculator app that calculates timecode and frames.
