What is a Timecode Calculator?

A timecode calculator converts video position between total frames, HH:MM:SS:FF, and wall-clock seconds at a chosen frame rate. Post and review teams use it to write precise notes, sync references across timelines, and translate player timestamps into editor-friendly timecode.

How to Use the Timecode Calculator

Bidirectional conversion between total frames, HH:MM:SS:FF, and total seconds — all in the browser.

Step 1

Choose your FPS

Pick the project frame rate (23.976–60). The calculator labels results as NDF / simple frame math — no drop-frame skipping.

Step 2

Enter frames, timecode, or seconds

Edit any field: total frames, HH:MM:SS:FF, or total seconds. The other values update immediately so you can convert seconds to timecode or the reverse.

Step 3

Copy into review notes

Copy the result and paste it into editor notes, Slack, or Kreatli video review comments so everyone lands on the same frame.

After you convert a moment, open the free video reviewer to leave frame-accurate feedback with your team.
