FreeTime Pro Timecode Calculator
|
Ever wonder what 5 minutes divided by 23 frames is?
FreeTime Pro can answer that question and a million other
timecode/edgecode arithmetic questions. FreeTime can add, subtract,
divide and multiply any one of a number of different timecode/edgecode
formats. All calculations are performed in frame counts so they
are accurate to the frame. Any value can be converted (with pulldown
and frame-rate conversions) to any other format.
This is the app you need on your Apple iPhone or iPod Touch for
timecode calculations.
|
- Works like a regular calculator: enter digits (a timecode), press
+ and enter more digits. Equals will show the answer.
- Touch the format name (PAL in this example)
to switch the time shown
to another timecode or edgecode format. Any frame-rate conversion
required will be performed. For example, if you enter one minute,
5 seconds in
NTSC Drop-Frame, it will be converted to 97 feet and 6 frames
in 35mm film, by assuming 3:2 pulldown.
|
In addition to a conventional calculator mode, there are two other
entry modes, Conversion mode and Editor mode.
- Facilitates repeated conversions between two different timecode
formats.
- Two entry fields, instead of just one. Each may be set to a different
time format, and either may be selected to be active for user
input and operations (shown with box).
- All usual operations can be performed on either field, and result is
shown in both formats.
- Just tap on either number to switch which one changes when you
enter numbers.
|
- Three input fields: In, Out and Duration.
- Enter either two fields and the third field is calculated. For example,
you can enter a in-point and a duration. The out-point will be displayed
automatically.
- Out-point can become the next in-point with a single touch (use
the arrow symbols between In and Out).
- Auto-calculation of in/out/dur may be disabled, for complex what-ifs.
- Just press the Auto button to switch which field is auto calculated. Press again to disable any auto calc.
|
- Supported timecode formats: Drop Frame, NTSC-ND (Non-drop), PAL, NTSC
frames, PAL frames, Film frames (24 fps), 30fps frames,
Real-time, 16mm, 35mm, 16mm/20 (20 frames per keycode, a.k.a foot).
More formats may be defined in the future.
- Conversion to and from real-time (seconds or milliseconds resolution)
is provided.
- Overflow fields may be (optionally) set to carry-up automatically.
This allows you to enter 90 frames and have it converted silently
to one minute and 30 frames (NTSC example).
- Bump-up dropped: Disables the helpful warning about dropped-frame
entry errors. The next legal frame number is provided automatically.
- A tapping sound is optional.
- Go to Home -> System Settings (Gears) -> FreeTime Pro (bottom) to change
settings.

- This program was written by the same author as FreeTime, a
freeware program for the Palm Pilot, released in 1998. Every ten years
there is a worthwhile mobile platform... But now I have
three kids to feed, hence the Pro name and small fee.
- A number of long-standing arithmetic errors have been fixed. These
errors were all drop-frame related.
Try it out now... Go to the AppStore and search for FreeTime.
