Timecode Displays for Video

The video clips below are frame-accurate video timecode displays which can be downloaded and used with your video project to provide a timecode reference. The timecode clips are 160x40 pixels and can be placed anywhere in your video frame, as per the example on the right.

Notes:

• Choose the correct format to suit your project from the list below.
• These are big files — you might want to download the 1-minute version first to make sure it works.
• Windows video files use the Microsoft Video 1 codec.
• Quicktime/MP4 files use the H.264 codec.
• MPEG2 files have the extension .m2v. If your editor doesn't recognise it, try changing the extension to .mpg.
• If the timecode looks squashed or stretched in your project, try changing the pixel aspect ratio of the timecode clip. You can also resize it if you wish.
• These timecode files are for marking individual frames as per video editing conventions. If you're looking for a clock that shows times in 1/100 second increments, see our clock timecodes.
• If you have any problems or comments about these files please let us know.
