View Source Vtc.Timecode (vtc v0.8.0)
Represents a particular frame in a video clip.
New Timecode values are created with the with_seconds/3
and with_frames/2
, and
other function prefaced by with_*
.

seconds
: The real-world seconds elapsed since 01:00:00:00 as a rational value. (Note: The Ratio module automatically will coerce itself to an integer whenever possible, so this value may be an integer when exactly a whole-second value).rate
: the Framerate of the timecode.

Sorting Support
Timecode implements compare/2
, and as such, can be used wherever
the standard library calls for a Sorter
module. Let's see it in action:
iex> tc_01 = Timecode.with_frames!("01:00:00:00", Rates.f23_98())
iex> tc_02 = Timecode.with_frames!("02:00:00:00", Rates.f23_98())

iex> Enum.sort([tc_02, tc_01], Timecode) |> inspect()

arithmatic-autocasting
Arithmatic Autocasting
For operators that take two timecode values
, likt add/3
or compare/2
, as long as
one argument is a Timecode value, a
or b
May be any value that
implements the Frames protocol, such as a timecode string, and
will be assumed to be the same framerate as the other. This is mostly to support quick
scripting.
If parsing the value fails during casting, the function raises a
Vtc.Timecode.ParseError
.

Use eval to do some quick math. The block captures variables from the outer scope,
but contains the expression within its own scope, just like an if
or with
statement.
iex> require Timecode

iex> a + b * 2 - c
iex> end
iex>
iex> inspect(result)
"<01:45:00:00 <23.98 NTSC>>"
Or if you want to do it in one line:
iex> require Timecode

iex> a = Timecode.with_frames!("01:00:00:00", Rates.f23_98())
iex> b = Timecode.with_frames!("00:30:00:00", Rates.f23_98())

iex> result = Timecode.eval(a + b * 2 - c)
iex>
iex> inspect(result)
"<01:45:00:00 <23.98 NTSC>>"
Just like the regular Timecode functions, only one value in an
arithmatic expression needs to be a Timecode value. In the case
above, since multiplication happens first, that's b
:
iex> b = Timecode.with_frames!("00:30:00:00", Rates.f23_98())
iex>
iex> result = Timecode.eval do

iex>
iex> inspect(result)
"<01:45:00:00 <23.98 NTSC>>"
You can supply a default framerate if you just want to do some quick calculations. This framerate is inherited by every value that implements the Frames protocol in the block, including integers:
iex> result = Timecode.eval at: Rates.f23_98() do
iex> "01:00:00:00" + "00:30:00:00" * 2 - "00:15:00:00"

iex>
iex> inspect(result)
"<01:45:00:00 <23.98 NTSC>>"
You can use any value that can be parsed by Framerate.new/2
.
iex> result = Timecode.eval at: 23.98 do
iex> "01:00:00:00" + "00:30:00:00" * 2 - "00:15:00:00"
iex> end
iex>
iex> inspect(result)
"<01:45:00:00 <23.98 NTSC>>"
ntsc: :non_drop
is assumed by default, but you can set a different value with the
:ntsc
option:
iex> result = Timecode.eval at: 24, ntsc: nil do
iex> "01:00:00:00" + "00:30:00:00" * 2 - "00:15:00:00"
iex> end
iex>
iex> inspect(result)

@spec feet_and_frames(t(), opts :: [fiim_format: Vtc.FilmFormat.t(), round: round()]) :: Vtc.Source.Frames.FeetAndFrames.t()
Returns the number of physical film feet and frames timecode
represents if shot
on film.
Ex: '5400+13'.
options
Options
round
: How to round the internal frame count before conversion. Default::closest
.fiim_format
: The film format to use when doing the calculation. For more on film formats, seeVtc.FilmFormat
. Default::ff35mm_4perf
, by far the most common format used to shoot Hollywood movies.
what-it-is
What it is
On physical film, each foot contains a certain number of frames. For 35mm, 4-perf film (the most common type on Hollywood movies), this number is 16 frames per foot. Feet-And-Frames was often used in place of Keycode to quickly reference a frame in the edit.
where-you-see-it
Where you see it
For the most part, feet + frames has died out as a reference, because digital media is not measured in feet. The most common place it is still used is Studio Sound Departments. Many Sound Mixers and Designers intuitively think in feet + frames, and it is often burned into the reference picture for them.

- Sound turnover reference picture.
- Sound turnover change lists.

module.

Examples
Defaults to 35mm, 4perf:
iex> timecode = Timecode.with_frames!("01:00:00:00", Rates.f23_98())
iex> Timecode.feet_and_frames(timecode) |> inspect()
"<5400+00 :ff35mm_4perf>"
Use String.Chars
to convert the resulting struct to a traditional F=F string:
iex> alias Vtc.Source.Frames.FeetAndFrames
iex>
iex> timecode = Timecode.with_frames!("01:00:00:00", Rates.f23_98())
iex> Timecode.feet_and_frames(timecode) |> String.Chars.to_string()
"5400+00"
Outputting as a different film format:

iex> timecode = Timecode.with_frames!("01:00:00:00", Rates.f23_98())
iex> Timecode.feet_and_frames(timecode, film_format: :ff16mm) |> inspect()
"<4320+00 :ff16mm>"
Returns the number of frames that would have elapsed between 00:00:00:00 and
timecode
.

what-it-is
What it is
Frame number / frames count is the number of a frame if the timecode started at 00:00:00:00 and had been running until the current value. A timecode of '00:00:00:10' has a frame number of 10. A timecode of '01:00:00:00' has a frame number of 86400.

round
: How to round the resulting ticks.
what-it-is
What it is
Internally, Adobe Premiere Pro uses ticks to divide up a second, and keep track of how far into that second we are. There are 254016000000 ticks in a second, regardless of framerate in Premiere.

@spec runtime(t(), precision: non_neg_integer(), trim_zeros?: boolean()) :: String.t()
Runtime Returns the true, real-world runtime of timecode
in HH:MM:SS.FFFFFFFFF
format.
Trailing zeroes are trimmed from the end of the return value. If the entire fractal seconds value would be trimmed, '.0' is used.
options
Options
precision
: The number of places to round to. Extra trailing 0's will still be trimmed. Default:9
.trim_zeros?
: Whether to trim trailing zeroes. Default:true
.
what-it-is
What it is
The formatted version of seconds. It looks like timecode, but with a decimal seconds value instead of a frame number place.
where-you-see-it
Where you see it
• Anywhere real-world time is used.
• FFMPEG commands:
ffmpeg -ss 00:00:30.5 -i input.mov -t 00:00:10.25 output.mp4
note
Note
The true runtime will often diverge from the hours, minutes, and seconds value of the timecode representation when dealing with non-whole-frame framerates. Even drop-frame timecode does not continuously adhere 1:1 to the actual runtime. For instance, <01:00:00;00 <29.97 NTSC DF>> has a true runtime of '00:59:59.9964', and <01:00:00:00 <23.98 NTSC>> has a true runtime of '01:00:03.6'
examples
Examples
iex> timecode = Timecode.with_frames!("01:00:00:00", Rates.f23_98())
iex> Timecode.runtime(timecode)
"01:00:03.6"
@spec sections(t(), opts :: [{:round, round()}]) :: Vtc.Timecode.Sections.t()
The individual sections of a timecode string as i64 values.
examples
Examples
iex> timecode = Timecode.with_frames!("01:00:00:00", Rates.f23_98())
iex> Timecode.sections(timecode) |> inspect()
"%Vtc.Timecode.Sections{negative?: false, hours: 1, minutes: 0, seconds: 0, frames: 0}"
Returns the the formatted SMPTE timecode
Ex: 01:00:00:00
. Drop frame timecode will be rendered with a ';' sperator before the
frames field.
options
Options
round
: How to round the resulting frames field.
what-it-is
What it is
Timecode is used as a human-readable way to represent the id of a given frame. It is
formatted to give a rough sense of where to find a frame:
{HOURS}:{MINUTES}:{SECONDS}:{FRAME}
. For more on timecode, see Frame.io's
excellent post on the
subject.

Timecode is ubiquitous in video editing, a small sample of places you might see timecode:
- Source and Playback monitors in your favorite NLE.
- Burned into the footage for dailies.
- Cut lists like an EDL.
