Upload a video to preview live burned-in timecode overlay
5. Export Video With Timecode Burn-in
Renders your video client-side with frame-accurate burned-in timecode overlays, preserving your selected format, position, font, and background box.
Burn standard SMPTE timecode (HH:MM:SS:FF), millisecond timestamps (HH:MM:SS.mmm), absolute frame counts, or total seconds directly onto your video frames.
Set precise target frame rates (23.976, 24, 25, 29.97 NDF/DF, 30, 50, 60 FPS) and configure start timecode offsets (e.g. 01:00:00:00) for industry post-production workflows.
Position timecode overlays anywhere on frame (Top, Center, Bottom) and customize font size, text color, background box opacity, and padding.
Use precise frame-stepping controls (-1 Frame / +1 Frame) to verify exact keyframe timestamps and sync points before exporting.
Ideal for post-production editors, director review screeners, legal footage archiving, and multi-camera sync reference clips.
All video frame extraction, timecode calculation, overlay rendering, and MP4 export are performed client-side inside your browser without uploading files to any server.
