Frame count and clip length from real time, interval, and playback frame rate.
| Frames | – |
| Clip (s) | – |
Use this calculator to plan a time-lapse: how many frames you will shoot and how long the clip will play. Enter real duration in minutes, seconds between frames, and playback fps.
Frames = real minutes × 60 / interval. Clip seconds = frames / fps. 60 real minutes at a 5 s interval is 720 frames; at 24 fps the clip is 30 s. Battery, flicker, and storage are field problems, not this arithmetic.
Real (min): How long you shoot, in minutes.
Interval (s): Seconds between frames.
Playback fps: Playback frame rate.
Frames: Number of stills.
Clip (s): Playback duration in seconds.
