Frames

Frame rate (fps)

Total frames 1,500

Formula: frames = (hh*3600 + mm*60 + ss) * fps + ff

Step-by-step with your numbers:

1. Values used:

2. Hours = 0

3. Minutes = 1

4. Seconds = 2

5. Frames = 12

6. Frame rate = 24 fps

8. Total frames = 1,500

Convert a timecode back into the underlying frame count.

The math behind it

frames = (hours x 3600 + minutes x 60 + seconds) x fps + leftover frames.

00:01:02:12 at 24 fps is 1500 frames.

Why convert to frames?
