Frames & Duration Calculator

Convert frames, FPS and duration for video, animation and motion workflows.

Convert frames to time

The duration of a sequence depends on the number of frames and the frame rate. The basic formula is frames ÷ FPS = duration in seconds.

For example, 240 frames at 24 fps equals exactly 10 seconds. At 30 fps, the same 240 frames lasts 8 seconds.

Common frame rates

Media Calculator includes presets for 24 fps, 25 fps, 30 fps and 60 fps. These cover many common film, television, animation, web and real-time content workflows.

Useful for animation and VFX

When working in Blender, Maya, Unreal Engine, compositing software or video editing applications, frame counts are often easier to work with than seconds. This calculator helps you quickly convert between the two without doing the calculation manually.

Why FPS changes the duration

FPS means frames per second. Increasing the FPS means more frames are displayed every second, so a fixed number of frames occupies less time. That is why 120 frames lasts 5 seconds at 24 fps but only 2 seconds at 60 fps.
