Time Code Calculator
The POST MASTER Timecode Calculator is a professional-grade tool designed specifically for media professionals. It allows precise timecode calculations with frame accuracy, supporting multiple frame rates and both drop-frame and non-drop-frame timecode formats. Use the batch processing feature to calculate totals across multiple timecodes simultaneously - perfect for estimating total runtime of multiple segments.
Calculation History
Using the POST MASTER Timecode Calculator
• Enter numbers using the keypad or by typing directly
• Numbers will be entered from right to left with fixed colons
• As you type, digits will "push" previous digits to the left
• For example, typing 1, 2, 3, 4 gives 00:00:12:34

Batch Timecode Processing Instructions
• Enter one timecode or expression per line in the text box above
• Valid timecode format: HH:MM:SS:FF (e.g., 01:00:30:15)
• Supported operations: addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/)
• Examples of valid expressions:
- 01:00:00:00 + 00:30:00:00
- 00:45:15:10 - 00:15:10:05
- 00:00:30:00 * 3 (multiply a timecode by a number)
- 01:00:00:00 / 4 (divide a timecode by a number)
• Results will show both the timecode value and frame count
• For drop-frame calculations, select 29.97 fps and click DF
