Welcome to this LosslessCut tutorial. In Lesson 26, you will learn how to switch between frame-based timecode and second-based timecode in LosslessCut. You’ll understand how these two time displays work and how changing the timecode view can make it easier to navigate and edit your video.

This is especially useful when you need either precise frame information or a simpler time-based view while working with your footage.

Follow the complete LosslessCut tutorial series to learn video editing step by step.

00:08so over here by default what you see in the time code is milliseconds so you can see that this
00:15is
00:1526.300 milliseconds but if I were to go around over here onto one frame forward you can see that
00:21it
00:21does not go up exactly by one value but it goes a lot and sometimes this might be confusing if
00:29especially if you come around from other editing softwares so what you can do is you can change
00:34this around into frame based time code so in order to do that now what you can do is you
00:39can go around
00:40into settings and then you can go around over here onto in timeline show frame numbers once you click
00:48on it what happens is that once you close it you can see that it changes around so if I
00:52were to click
00:53on one frame forward now you can see that it is 26.12 click on it click on it and
00:59it goes progress
01:01wise so it shows the frame number instead of the milliseconds now so now if I were to go over
01:08here
01:08it says 25 26 27 28 29 and then after 29 it says 27 how how so so if that
01:16doesn't make sense at first
01:18that is because this is the number of frames that the video has so per second this video is based
01:23on 30
01:24frames per second so what is happening is that each 32nd each one second 30 frames are shown and that
01:32is
01:33why this is how it is coded so over here in this case 0.29 is the end of one
01:39second and then once that
01:41ends it starts the next one and 27.00 is frame 1 this is frame 2 frame 3 and so
01:48forth and it cycles
01:49on frame 29 so depending on the frame rate you have on a video so if you have a 60
01:55frames per second
01:56video then the value will be 60 if it's a 50 frames per second video the value will be 50
02:02and so forth
02:03so especially if you come from other editing softwares then you might be familiar with this
02:07but if you are still confused and you want to get on to the millisecond route then you can go
02:13around
02:14and go to millisecond so now what happens is that the value becomes the same and as you go through
02:19right here what happens is that uh it does navigate along with the frame but what happens is that the
02:26value is shown in milliseconds so as you go forward just like this you can see that it goes all
02:32the way
02:33up to 900 000 and then on to 28 just like that on to the next second and that is
02:39how you can toggle
02:40between frame time code and second time code inside of a lossless cut so if you guys learn something as
02:48always and as always please like comment share and subscribe
