This 'Custom' entry is what you will need. You can select from common existing rates or enter your own 'Custom' rate.

#NTSC TO PAL TIMECODE CALCULATOR PRO#

In Avid's Pro Tools for example, you have the ability to 'Import Audio' and apply sample rate conversion to change the speed of the audio you are bringing in. You will see the percentage difference between the two as well as the adjusted sample rate needed to enter when you 'Import Audio' into your current session. Press this button to display the numbers necessary to convert your audio. The app will determine the length for you.Ĭhoose between 32k, 44.1k, 48k, & 96k as the working rate of your current files. Type in the length (in total samples of total frames) that your audio should be. The plan is for a future version to give you the ability to enter length in SMPTE (hr:min:sec:fr) format. The app will determine the length for you.Ģ. The plan is for a future version to give you the ability to enter length in SMPTE (hr:min:sec:fr) format. Type in the length (in total samples or total frames) of the off-speed audio that you have now. This is not just a frame converter, it takes into account the difference in speed between NTSC & PAL. Press this button to display the equivalent timecodes for the other 3 frame rates.

Nudge '+/-' buttons are also provided in case you want to check the progression of frames in a certain range. A backspace '<' button is also provided to replace just the last entry. A 'C' Clear button is provided to remove the current entry and enter all '0's'. Use the number buttons to enter the timecode you need converted. Logos/bars/black may prohibit two different tapes from being compared together exactly based on the same even starting hour. The plan is for a future version to give the option of entering a complete SMPTE timecode hr:min:sec:fr as your program start time. This app allows you to enter hours 0-23 as the place where your program material begins. Other similar apps/programs only begin with hour 0 and you have to offset your entry to match.

This hour is used to measure the distance/time into your program based on the timecode you enter. The app defaults to Hour 1 (which is the starting timecode for most feature video tapes/files). The other three equivalents will be displayed below. Video editors can keep proper cadence as Timecode Tool displays the location of A-Frames that occur during each minute of interlaced video based on a given start-time.įuture versions of Timecode Tool will include a timecode calculator and, if requested, 35/16mm film footages.Īlthough this app converts between 23.98, DF, NDF, & PAL timecodes, you will need to select one as your source. After entering that file's current length, target length, and current sample rate, a simple math calculation is performed and the user is provided with the numbers necessary to import that file at a custom rate where it should stay in proper sync. Example: you may have an audio file that is 20 frames shorter than it is supposed to be. Both the difference in percentage and the correct sample rate necessary to vari-speed (VSO) when importing/exporting are provided.

The hope is that you are using a software program that allows you to convert your audio by entering a specific sample rate ('Import Audio'). The second feature of Timecode Tool helps the user vari-speed audio that is currently running at the wrong speed. (A future version may allow the user to select a specific 'non-even hour' timecode if there are enough requests) It has a default value of 1 Hour as the starting time of your program material but the other 23 even hours can be selected if necessary. How do you find the same spot in the NTSC version? Timecode Tool will easily allow you to enter the PAL timecode of 2:14:30:23 and will return to you the equivalent 23.98, DF, and NDF timecodes. Perhaps you are performing a QC pass on a PAL version of a feature film and find an issue at 2:14:30:23. PAL video runs at a faster speed than NTSC and consequently causes issues when trying to find the same spot in a feature film between those standards. The primary feature gives the user the ability to convert between 23.98, DF, NDF and PAL timecodes.
