SMPTE timecode

SMPTE timecode is a standard method used in film, video, and broadcasting to accurately label each moment in a recording with a precise time stamp. It typically appears as hours, minutes, seconds, and frames (e.g., 01:23:45:12). This system allows professionals to synchronize and locate specific points in multiple recordings or live feeds efficiently. Think of it as a detailed clock that helps editors, technicians, and broadcasters coordinate complex multimedia workflows, ensuring all elements match up perfectly during editing, playback, or transmission.
