The plan is for a future version to give the option of entering a complete SMPTE timecode hr:min:sec:fr as your program start time. This app allows you to enter hours 0-23 as the place where your program material begins.
Other similar apps/programs only begin with hour 0 and you have to offset your entry to match. This hour is used to measure the distance/time into your program based on the timecode you enter. The app defaults to Hour 1 (which is the starting timecode for most feature video tapes/files). The other three equivalents will be displayed below. Video editors can keep proper cadence as Timecode Tool displays the location of A-Frames that occur during each minute of interlaced video based on a given start-time.įuture versions of Timecode Tool will include a timecode calculator and, if requested, 35/16mm film footages.Īlthough this app converts between 23.98, DF, NDF, & PAL timecodes, you will need to select one as your source.
After entering that file's current length, target length, and current sample rate, a simple math calculation is performed and the user is provided with the numbers necessary to import that file at a custom rate where it should stay in proper sync. Example: you may have an audio file that is 20 frames shorter than it is supposed to be. Both the difference in percentage and the correct sample rate necessary to vari-speed (VSO) when importing/exporting are provided.

The hope is that you are using a software program that allows you to convert your audio by entering a specific sample rate ("Import Audio"). The second feature of Timecode Tool helps the user vari-speed audio that is currently running at the wrong speed. (A future version may allow the user to select a specific "non-even hour" timecode if there are enough requests) It has a default value of 1 Hour as the starting time of your program material but the other 23 even hours can be selected if necessary. How do you find the same spot in the NTSC version? Timecode Tool will easily allow you to enter the PAL timecode of 2:14:30:23 and will return to you the equivalent 23.98, DF, and NDF timecodes. Perhaps you are performing a QC pass on a PAL version of a feature film and find an issue at 2:14:30:23. PAL video runs at a faster speed than NTSC and consequently causes issues when trying to find the same spot in a feature film between those standards. The primary feature gives the user the ability to convert between 23.98, DF, NDF and PAL timecodes.
