View Full Version : frames-milliseconds conversion question

Hello all:
I suck at math, and am trying to sync my audio with my video. my program uses the conventional timecode of 00:00:00:00 (hrs,min,sec,frames). My audio rip tells me the delay in milliseconds, so I need to know how to convert milliseconds to frames. Basically 1ms equals how many frames?
Sorry for what is probably a very stupid question.

If your movie is 30 frames per second, then a frame is 1/30th of a second, or 33.33 milliseconds. If your movie is 24 frames per second, then a frame is 1/24th of a second, or 41.66 milliseconds.

I could be wrong, but I thought the conventional format for 00:00:00:00 is hrs:mins:secs:milisecs and not hrs:mins:secs:frames?

00:00:00:00 can't be hrs:mins:secs:milisecs because there are 1000 milliseconds in a second. Though it could be hrs:mins:secs:centiseconds.

I think "frame" here means differently than (video) frame rate. Per the 00:00:00:00 (h:m:s:frame) format given, I'm inclined to think that it's 60 frames per second. You can easily find this out by zooming in on the time ruler of aforementioned program. If so, then it's (1000 ms/s) / (60 frames/s) = 16.67 ms/frame.

every video editing program uses hh:mm:ss:ff as the timecode setting and the ff is the frame rate of the media in question. In film it goes from 0-23 and then roles over. In NTSC it goes to 29 and then roles over and drops frames every so often. In PAL it goes to 24.

Hello. I have a related question but about the opposite. I am trying to convert the time that I get in mediaplayerclassic's goto option 01:11:02.749 into milliseconds (or into samples). And it would be even better if I can convert a table of these time entrees into milliseconds through excel or anyother spreadsheet program
i.e.
[01:01:30:590]
[01:01:51:710]
[01:02:32:600]
[01:03:45:870]
[01:03:50:820]
[01:07:09:440]
[01:14:11:540]
[01:15:47:970]
[01:16:02:880]
in
[hh:mm:ss:????]
to
milliseconds
or maybe there is already a batch calculator out there that may help.
I very much appreciate your reply. Thanks.
