You can copy and paste the timecode into the timecode fields as well.įurthermore, suppose you typed in values that are not allowed in the timecode. As you will notice, TC Calc is very reactive and immediately shows results while you type in the timecodes. As the third step, you fill in the two timecodes. If you have selected the subtract method, TC Calc subtracts the timecode above from the timecode below. Second, you can choose to add two timecodes or subtract one timecode from the other (defaults to addition). First, you choose the desired FPS your calculations should take place (defaults to 24 FPS).

The usage of TC Calc is quite simple and follows easy steps. They rather skip the first two frame counts in the timecode on the first second in each minute, but not if the minute count is divisible by ten. All other FPS choices use non-drop-frame timecodes (NDF).īut what are DF timecodes? Easy, drop-frame timecodes don't skip actual frames as the name might suggest. The DF-suffix on 29.97 and 59.94 mean drop-frame and indicate that those two timecodes use the drop-frame method for showing timecodes. TC Calc works with timecodes of different frame rates per second (FPS).

The timecodes it processes are SMPTE-conform timecodes used in the motion picture industry. TC Calc is a timecode calculator which enables you to add or subtract two different timecodes.
