Frame number / frames count is the number of a frame if the timecode started at

has a frame number of 10. A timecode of '01:00:00:00' has a frame number of 86400.

Returns the the formatted SMPTE timecode: (ex: 01:00:00:00).
# What it is
Timecode is used as a human-readable way to represent the id of a given frame. It is formatted
to give a rough sense of where to find a frame: {HOURS}:{MINUTES}:{SECONDS}:{FRAME}. For more on
timecode, see Frame.io's
[excellent post](https://blog.frame.io/2017/07/17/timecode-and-frame-rates/) on the subject.

Runtime Returns the true, real-world runtime of the timecode in HH:MM:SS.FFFFFFFFF
format.
Arguments
- `precision`: The number of places to round to. Extra trailing 0's will still be
trimmed.
# What it is
The formatted version of seconds. It looks like timecode, but with a decimal seconds
value instead of a frame number place.
# Where you see it
• Anywhere real-world time is used.
• FFMPEG commands:
```shell
ffmpeg -ss 00:00:30.5 -i input.mov -t 00:00:10.25 output.mp4
```
# Note
The true runtime will often diverge from the hours, minutes, and seconds
value of the timecode representation when dealing with non-whole-frame
framerates. Even drop-frame timecode does not continuously adhere 1:1 to the
actual runtime. For instance, <01:00:00;00 @ <29.97 NTSC DF>> has a true runtime of
'00:59:59.9964', and <01:00:00:00 @ <23.98 NTSC NDF>> has a true runtime of

Returns the number of feet and frames this timecode represents if it were shot on 35mm

# What it is
On physical film, each foot contains a certain number of frames. For 35mm, 4-perf film
(the most common type on Hollywood movies), this number is 16 frames per foot.
Feet-And-Frames was often used in place of Keycode to quickly reference a frame in the
edit.
# Where you see it
For the most part, feet + frames has died out as a reference, because digital media is
not measured in feet. The most common place it is still used is Studio Sound
Departments. Many Sound Mixers and Designers intuitively think in feet + frames, and it
is often burned into the reference picture for them.
