This timecode calculator will help you add, subtract, and convert timecode values for video editing and production tasks.

Timecode Calculator

Explanation

The Timecode Calculator computes the difference between two timecodes. Timecodes are typically formatted in hours, minutes, seconds and frames (hh:mm:ss:ff).

How to Use

To use the calculator, input the start and end timecodes in the hh:mm:ss:ff format, and then click the ‘Calculate’ button. The result will display the timecode difference. If the end timecode is earlier than the start timecode, the result will be shown with a negative sign.

How It Calculates

The calculator converts each timecode into a total number of frames, then computes the difference in frames, and finally converts the frame difference back into a timecode format.

Limitations

The calculator assumes a standard frame rate of 30 FPS (frames per second). It does not support timecodes with different frame rates or millisecond precision.
