Meaning
Timecode is a convention for identifying positions in moving media, often expressed using hours, minutes, seconds and frames.
A practical example
A label ending in a frame field must be interpreted with its associated frame rate; it is not automatically a decimal fraction of a second.
What to check
Mixing frame-based timecode and millisecond timestamps can create offset errors. Record the convention and rate before converting positions.
