Originally written in 2007, Rob’s Timecode Calculator performed simple calculations accurately, but had certain bugs that made it frame-inaccurate in certain situations. It now calculates dropframe and non-dropframe timecode much better, and so far, without bugs. And as an added bonus, there is now a tape that records all of your calculations until you clear the tape, or reload the page.

Thanks to David Heidelberger, and Andrew Duncan for their implementation of dropframe timecode conversion.

How to use: Enter in your timecode using your computer’s keypad or by clicking the buttons above. All numbers entered are treated as timecode, except when multiplying or dividing. Timecode may be formatted as follows:
00000112
00:00:01:12
00:00:01;12
00.00.01.12
1.12

Your timecode will be corrected according to the framerate set above. So if you enter 0125+ and your framerate is set to 23.98, your timecode will be corrected to 00:00:02:01. When multiplying or dividing, the number entered following the operator will be treated as a number, not timecode. And besides, who needs to multiply timecode by timecode?

Timecode

Rob’s Timecode Calculator is an online timecode calculator that allows editors, producers, and other video-folk to perform calculations on timecode, using just your number keypad to input timecode shorthand. It was designed for maximum ease of use, taking user experience cues from professional NLE’s.

To enter timecode, you don’t need to use colons or semicolons – Rob’s Timecode Calculator will do it for you. It anticipates what you are trying to do. Type in 112+ and it rewrites your input as 00:00:01:12 +. You don’t even need to click on it. Just start typing and get to calculating!
