FramePilot

Stop counting frames on your fingers! Timecode math built for the cutting room. Avid-style numpad entry, VFX pull calculator, reel TRT, and frame conversion. No fluff.

FramePilot is a professional timecode calculator built for VFX Editors and Assistant Editors on feature films and television.

Most timecode calculators are built for anyone. FramePilot is built for you.

AVID-STYLE NUMPAD ENTRY Digits push right-to-left, exactly like your NLE. No tapping between fields. No relearning muscle memory. Just type.

TIMECODE CALCULATOR Add, subtract, multiply, and divide timecodes. Subtract raw frame counts directly from a TC — no conversion step needed. Full drop frame support with SMPTE-compliant semicolon notation. All industry-standard frame rates from 23.976 to 60.

VFX PULL CALCULATOR Enter cut in, cut out, and handle sizes — get pull TC in/out, frame count, and plate frame numbers instantly. Set head and tail handles independently. Anchor any TC to a plate frame number and all other frame numbers derive automatically. Copy a clean formatted pull summary to your clipboard in one tap.

REEL TRT Add reel durations and get a running total runtime. Toggle Academy leader subtraction per reel for an accurate TRT. Built for the Post Supervisor who needs a fast answer.

CONVERT Timecode to frame count. Frame count to duration. Timecode to real time in milliseconds — for 23.976 drift and music sync workflows.

ONE FRAME RATE, EVERYWHERE Set your frame rate once on the Calc screen. Every other screen reflects it automatically.

BUILT FOR THE CUTTING ROOM Dark mode only. Portrait optimized. No ads. No accounts. No internet required. Just math.
