Calc AE

Developer: Freshmograph

Download Free

A timecode calculator panel for After Effects that uses the composition frame rate.

What Calc AE does

Calc AE is a small calculator from Freshmograph made specifically for timecode math. Rather than switching to a separate app or doing frame arithmetic in your head, you can add and subtract timecodes right inside After Effects.

It pulls in the composition's frame rate automatically so results stay accurate, and you can also type values by hand. Timecode Assist Tools insert common values, while Shift plus Calculate opens settings and can toggle the math operations row. It is useful to editors and animators handling durations and deliveries.

Key features

  • Timecode calculations inside After Effects
  • Frame rate loaded from the comp automatically
  • Manual timecode entry
  • Assist tools for common timecode values
