  frame to second conversion question

  Posted by Caitlin Miller on October 28, 2012 at 7:03 pm

  Hi everyone,
  I’m timing out scratch VO for someone to record VO tomorrow, and I can’t seem to find a proper frame to seconds conversion calculator. For example, I have clip that lasts 5 seconds and 14 frames at 30i, and I want to know exactly how many seconds that is… I estimate roughly 5.3 but that can’t be right…

  Does anyone know how best to handle this?

  Thanks!
  Caitlin

  30 frames in a second at 30i. So 30 x 5….150. Plus 14 frames. 164.

  You can also use the Avid timecode calculator for such conversions.
  (command 2).
