Timecode Timer (TCTimer) is a tool designed to perform timing of animations. It shows current timing values expressed in time, number of frames and length of the tape. Displayed values are recorded to the Timing Log every each start/stop operation. The Log also contains timestamp markers captured manually during animation.
Using Start, Reset and Mark buttons is Similar to a common stopwatch:
- Start button: to start/stop timing
- Reset: to stop and immediately restart action
- Mark: to record a specific moment of animation in the Timing Log
You can set desired film format and timecode using two drop-down lists. When selection is made on either of the lists, the current timing and Frame count are automatically reset to zero.
Timing values are shown on three displays:
- Time display shows current time value in selected timecode
- Frames display shows current frame count
- Format display shows current tape length
