Timecode API
Convert SMPTE timecode for video, film and broadcast. Turn a timecode (HH:MM:SS:FF) into an absolute frame number or into real-time seconds, and turn a frame count back into a timecode — at 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94 or 60 fps. Crucially it handles drop-frame correctly: at 29.97 and 59.94 fps it drops the right frame numbers each minute (notated with a semicolon, 01:00:00;00) so an hour of timecode lines up with an hour of real time, and it computes real seconds with the exact fractional rate (30000/1001). Perfect for NLE and editing tools, subtitle and caption timing, playout and broadcast automation, and media asset management. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 4 endpoints. Distinct from date/time, duration and relative-time tools.
