- Are my files uploaded anywhere?

- What is drop-frame timecode?
- At 29.97 and 59.94 fps there are slightly fewer frames per second than the timecode counts. Drop-frame timecode skips frame numbers 00 and 01 (00 to 03 at 59.94) at the start of every minute except every tenth, so it stays in step with the clock. It is written with a semicolon: 00:01:00;02.
- Why do SRT and VTT times look different?
- Only the separator before the milliseconds differs: SRT uses a comma (00:01:02,500) and WebVTT a dot (00:01:02.500).
- How are frames rounded?
- To the nearest whole frame. Rates such as 23.976 and 29.97 are counted exactly — 24000/1001 and 30000/1001 frames per second — not rounded.
