How GenMotion's free timecode converter works
Three steps, no account, and nothing to install.
- Step 1
Enter timecode or frames
Type an HH:MM:SS:FF timecode, or a raw frame count. The converter works in both directions.
- Step 2
Set the frame rate
Pick the fps your project runs at — the same frame count means a different duration at 24, 30 or 60fps.
- Step 3
Read the conversion
Get the exact counterpart immediately, ready for an edit note, a bug report, or a render range.
Who is GenMotion's free timecode converter for?
Editors and assistants
Translate a frame number from a review note into a timecode you can scrub to, and back again.
Motion designers
Convert a duration into frames when animating on a frame-based timeline rather than in seconds.
QA and reviewers
Reference an exact moment in feedback so nobody has to hunt for the frame you meant.
Frequently asked questions
Timecode is a standard way to label an exact position in a video, written HH:MM:SS:FF — hours, minutes, seconds, and frames. The frames field counts up to the frame rate before the seconds roll over.
Divide the total frame count by the frame rate to get total seconds, then break that into hours, minutes, and seconds; the remainder of frames becomes the FF field. This tool handles the math at any frame rate.
The same frame count represents a different duration at different frame rates. 900 frames is 30 seconds at 30fps but only 15 seconds at 60fps, so the converter always asks for an fps value.
This converter uses non-drop-frame (NDF) timecode, where every frame is counted sequentially. NDF is the right choice for web and most modern workflows.
