Timecode & Frame Rates
SequenceSuite uses a pure-Swift SMPTE 12M timecode implementation supporting all standard frame rates, including drop-frame variants.
Supported frame rates
Section titled “Supported frame rates”| Rate | Drop-frame variant |
|---|---|
| 23.976 fps | — |
| 24 fps | — |
| 25 fps | — |
| 29.97 fps | Yes (DF and NDF) |
| 30 fps | — |
| 47.95 fps | — |
| 48 fps | — |
| 50 fps | — |
| 59.94 fps | Yes (DF and NDF) |
| 60 fps | — |
Drop-frame notation
Section titled “Drop-frame notation”Drop-frame timecode uses a semicolon separator: 01;00;00;00. Non-drop-frame uses colons: 01:00:00:00. SequenceSuite preserves the notation from the source sequence.
EDL frame rate
Section titled “EDL frame rate”EDLs do not embed frame-rate metadata. SequenceSuite attempts to infer the rate from the timecode values. If it cannot determine the rate unambiguously, it prompts you to confirm before parsing.
