FramePilot

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.
