![]() Use the drop frame framerates in calculations with "29.97df" and "59.94df" or with cell reference. =) There is support for 23.976 calculations though. During this process i've learnt that there is no such thing as 23.976 drop frame so that has ben dropped, no pun intented. ![]() Sometimes a script can error out for no apparent reason, reloading normally helps.Ģ9.97 and 59.94 drop frame support implemented. If it's related to this limitation try to work with ranges instead, examples below. This is important to have in mind and if you see a lot of '#ERROR!' cells, hover over them to see what the issue is. There's a built-in limitation in gDocs for how many times a script can be called per second. If that doesn't work, write something in the comments. Make a copy of this document to your own gDocs/gDrive, once there you can edit it and access the script in the script editor. ![]() If there's a bug and it needs update, all these instances would have to be manually updated. You will have to manually copy and paste this script into all documents you want to use it in. You will find the script in 'Apps Script' under the 'Extenions'-menu. I encourage you to come with feedback such as feature requests, bugs or other stuffs. You can access the sheet here, which contains some examples as well as basic instructions on how to use the document.Disclaimer: Im no expert in this and I created it since I needed it myself. if you add non-even frame rate support), I encourage you to share them with Henrik so that the whole post community can benefit. Once you make a copy of the document you can modify it to your heart’s content – although if you do make any useful changes to the code (i.e. For assistant editors who have to spend a lot of time crunching timecode within a spreadsheet – this could save you a HUGE amount of time.Īs Google Sheets is cloud-based, this is nothing something you can just download and install – you need to have a Google Account, and then “Make A Copy” of Henrik’s document, storing your own version in your personal Google Drive account. If you’re in 25fps land, this is an incredibly useful tool that you can make use of today. 23.976fps) – but apart from that, it’s incredibly simple and powerful, with support for timecode addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, percentages as well as timecode conversion (i.e. It’s early days, and the code does not currently support obscure non-even frame rates (i.e. ![]() What’s REALLY exciting though, is that the incredibly clever Stockholm-based Henrik Cednert has put together an awesome script (inspired by Nuke/Hiero Timecode Calculator) that allows you to calculate timecode within a Google Sheets document. It’s also completely compatible with Excel and Numbers – and it’s free. It’s web-based, but there are also iOS and Android versions that all play nicely together. As part of that suite, Google Sheets is basically Google’s version of Excel/Numbers. Google Docs is a free, web-based office suite offered by Google within its Google Drive service – allowing you to create and share your work online and access your documents from anywhere. Hopefully one day someone puts together some incredibly clever AppleScripts that add this functionality, however in the meantime… Unfortunately however, getting timecode to work successfully and reliably in Numbers has never been something I’ve been able to fully accomplish. Even though it’s now around 3 years old, it still gets a constant amount of views each week.Īlthough the Excel article is still relevant and useful – personally, I don’t actually use Microsoft Excel very often any more, much preferring Apple’s Numbers (which comes free with every Mac and iPad/iPhone for that matter). One of the most popular blog posts we’ve ever done has been on Calculating Timecode in Excel.
