Video Timecode Calculator
Convert an integer non-drop-frame timecode to total frames and elapsed seconds.
What would you like to do next?
Count frames from a zero timecode
Enter hours, minutes, seconds and a frame number, then choose an integer nominal rate from 24 through 60 frames per second. The calculator validates the frame field against that rate, formats a four-part label and reports the sequential frame count and elapsed seconds from 00:00:00:00. This makes simple edit offsets and duration checks reproducible.
Know which timecode model is being used
The result uses non-drop-frame counting at an integer rate. It does not implement 29.97 or 59.94 drop-frame numbering, preserve a production start address, handle subframes or infer a camera timeline. Confirm the project rate and timecode convention before transferring the number into editing, broadcast or synchronization work.
Frequently asked questions
Does this calculate drop-frame timecode?
No. It uses integer nominal rates and sequential non-drop-frame counting.
What is the starting address?
The total is counted from 00:00:00:00.
Can the frame field equal the frame rate?
No. Frame numbering runs from zero through one less than the selected rate.
