How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter Source FPS — the frame rate at which the clip was originally captured.
  2. Set Target FPS — the delivery frame rate for your project (e.g., 24, 25, 29.97, 60).
  3. Input Clip Duration in seconds to calculate total frame counts.
  4. Source Frame Count and Target Frame Count show the absolute frames at each rate.
  5. Adjusted Duration (sec) reveals how long the clip will run after retiming.
  6. Speed Multiplier above 1.0 means the clip will play faster; below 1.0 it slows down.

What each input means

Duration
Length of the clip in seconds.
Source Frame Rate
Original frame rate of the footage.
Target Frame Rate
Desired output frame rate.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    Duration = 60, Source Frame Rate = 24, Target Frame Rate = 30 = 3 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Source Frame Count
    Source Frame Count
    1440 = 1440
  3. Calculate Target Frame Count
    Target Frame Count
    1800 = 1800
  4. Calculate Adjusted Duration
    Adjusted Duration
    48 = 48
