Sum hours, minutes, seconds, and frames without mistakes. Handle drop frame and broadcast workflows confidently. Export neat totals for editors, producers, and delivery logs.
| Frame Rate | Timecode | Repeat | Note | Subtotal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | 00:00:30:12 | 2 | Intro cues | 00:01:00:24 |
| 25 | 00:01:15:10 | 1 | Main segment | 00:01:15:10 |
| 25 | 00:00:52:04 | 3 | Promotional inserts | 00:02:36:12 |
| Grand Total | 00:04:52:21 | |||
For non-drop frame math, each row is converted into frames first.
Total Frames = (((Hours × 3600) + (Minutes × 60) + Seconds) × Rounded FPS) + Frames
Each subtotal is then multiplied by its repeat value.
Row Subtotal Frames = Single Row Frames × Repeat
All subtotal frames are added together.
Grand Total Frames = Sum of All Row Subtotal Frames
Total seconds come from actual frame rate division.
Total Seconds = Grand Total Frames ÷ FPS
When drop frame is enabled, the calculator removes skipped labels for 29.97 or 59.94 workflows before summing.
A timecode addition calculator helps editors, assistants, loggers, and producers combine multiple clips without manual counting. It reduces frame mistakes. It also speeds planning for rough cuts, conform lists, subtitles, QC notes, and delivery sheets.
Timecode looks simple, yet frame based math can fail quickly. A small error changes runtimes, cue points, and edit decisions. Mixed repeat counts also create confusion. This tool converts every entry into frames first. Then it adds each subtotal and returns a normalized total.
This calculator supports common frame rates, including 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, and 60. It also supports drop frame for broadcast friendly workflows. You can add many entries, assign repeat counts, and attach notes for clean reporting. That makes it useful for shot lists, program segments, ad breaks, music cues, and archive logs.
The result includes the summed timecode, total frames, total seconds, and total minutes. A detailed row summary shows each source timecode and its multiplied subtotal. CSV export helps with spreadsheets. PDF export helps with handoff, review, and record keeping.
Producers can estimate final runtimes before a session starts. Editors can check assembly length during cutting. Coordinators can validate slot timing for broadcast or streaming delivery. Educators and students can also use the calculator to understand frame logic with less friction.
Because the page keeps the workflow straightforward, teams can enter values, calculate instantly, and save the output. That lowers rework and improves confidence. When timecode math is reliable, schedules stay tighter, communication gets clearer, and delivery prep becomes easier.
Use this page when adding scene takes, episode acts, trailer selects, interview clips, training modules, lecture parts, podcast markers, or social edits. It also fits dubbing sheets, compliance review logs, and restoration notes. Instead of adding minutes and frames by hand, you get one dependable output. That saves time during prep, review, finishing, and client communication, especially when deadlines are tight and totals must be checked more than once. It works well for daily operational checks.
It adds multiple timecode entries, applies repeat counts, and returns one normalized total. It also shows total frames, seconds, minutes, and row subtotals for better checking.
Yes. Choose drop frame when your project uses 29.97 or 59.94 workflows. The calculator adjusts skipped labels correctly before summing the final total.
Enter timecodes as HH:MM:SS:FF for standard counting. You may also enter HH:MM:SS;FF when working with drop frame labels.
Repeat is helpful when the same clip, ad, bumper, or cue appears more than once. It saves retyping and keeps the addition process faster.
Yes. After you press Calculate Total, the summary appears below the header and above the form, matching the requested page flow.
Yes. Use the CSV button for spreadsheet work and the PDF button for clean sharing, record keeping, or production handoff documents.
The calculator checks the frame field against the selected rate. If frames are too high, it shows an input message so you can correct the row.
Editors, assistant editors, producers, coordinators, loggers, archivists, educators, and students can all use it for fast and reliable timecode totals.
