Calculations
takes many headaches from stop-frame, slo-mo and hi-speed calculations
away. For this
has two functions, the Time Crank Calculator
and the Time Lapse Calculator.
The Time Crank Calculator is useful for quick
calculations, where you need to find out the resulting screen time
of an under- or overcranked shot.
Say, you want to shoot a sequence lasting 30 seconds at 32 fps.
Punch in the data, and...
has the answer. The 30 seconds will be stretched to 40. And the
script girl is smiling at you.
The slightly more complex Time Lapse Calculator
helps you finding out the camera speed.
With a high-speed camera you want to cover an event taking 2 seconds.
Let
figure out how many fps you have to shoot to get 30 seconds of footage.
Or, say, you want to shoot a time-lapse of an event that takes
a bit more than 2 days. Your client needs this to be 2 minutes long:
And an eye-blink later
tells you that you will have to shoot one frame roughly every minute.
Or shoot two frames ever 112 seconds.
