ClarityHow to use this tool
- Enter capture duration, interval between frames, playback frame rate.
- Select Calculate to view the result.
- Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.
The method, explained
Frames = floor(capture seconds/interval). Playback seconds = frames/fps.
Using capture duration = 60 minutes, interval between frames = 5 seconds, playback frame rate = 30 fps, the result is 24 seconds. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.
What to keep in mind
Counts completed capture intervals; no extra frame at time zero. An ideal geometric or exposure estimate. Lens behavior, stabilization, sensor crop and scene conditions may change practical results.
Common questions
Which inputs does this calculation need?
Find playback duration from shooting interval and capture duration. Enter capture duration in minutes, interval between frames in seconds, playback frame rate in fps. The filled example is editable and is not a saved personal record.
How should I interpret the result?
Counts completed capture intervals; no extra frame at time zero. An ideal geometric or exposure estimate. Lens behavior, stabilization, sensor crop and scene conditions may change practical results.
