Time Calculations

Camerad takes many headaches from stop-frame, slo-mo and hi-speed calculations away. For this Camerad 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...

Camerad 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 Camerad 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 Camerad tells you that you will have to shoot one frame roughly every minute. Or shoot two frames ever 112 seconds.
