Time Code

Time code is a system used in audio, video, and film production to precisely identify specific moments within a recording. It assigns a unique set of numbers—often representing hours, minutes, seconds, and frames—to particular points, similar to a detailed timestamp. This allows editors, engineers, and producers to easily locate, synchronize, and coordinate segments of media during editing or playback. Think of it as a very accurate bookmark system that keeps everyone on the same page, ensuring seamless editing, synchronization, and communication across different stages of production.
