Frequently asked questions

What is timecode?

Timecode is a sequence of numeric codes (HH:MM:SS:FF) generated at regular intervals to identify a specific frame. Used in film, video, and audio production to synchronize tracks and locate edit points precisely.

What is 23.976 fps?

23.976 fps (exactly 24000/1001) is the NTSC-derived variant of 24 fps. It originates from the NTSC color system requiring a slight slowdown. Most digital cameras and streaming platforms use 23.976, not true 24 fps.

What is the difference between 29.97 and 30 fps?

29.97 fps (30000/1001) is the NTSC broadcast standard in North America and Japan. True 30 fps is used in some digital workflows. The difference matters for timecode accuracy in long-form productions.
