A timecode is a way of denoting the time a frame or part of a video is showing. It commonly uses the format: HH:MM:SS:FR. For example, 00:17:21:01 represents the 17th minute, 21st second, and one extra frame in a video.
Timecodes are essential for video production, enabling precise edits or scene reviews. They also ensure audio and video synchronization.
The standard frame rate is 24fps, commonly used for movies, TV shows, and other popular formats. However, 30fps and 60fps are also frequently used.
Each has its pros and cons: 30fps often provides better quality in low-light conditions, while 60fps offers smoother motion and reduced blur.
A timecode typically follows the format [Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames]. For example, 01:34:50:00 represents 1 hour, 34 minutes, 50 seconds, and zero additional frames.
