What this covers

Photo & Video Production: the big picture

Photo and video work is precise arithmetic: how long a timelapse takes, what shutter speed freezes motion, how much footage a frame rate needs, and what sample rate your audio should use. BoringToolsKit's creative calculators remove the guesswork.

  • Shutter speed for video is usually double the frame rate.
  • Timelapse duration is interval times number of frames.
  • Higher sample rate and bit depth capture more audio detail.

Tools for Photo & Video Production

Frame Rate Duration CalculatorFrame rate duration calculator: convert frames to seconds, minutes, or timecode at any frames-per-second rate.
Shutter Speed Stops CalculatorShutter speed stops calculator: find how many exposure stops (EV) differ between two shutter speeds.
Timelapse CalculatorTimelapse calculator: frames and finished clip length from capture interval and duration.
Audio File Size CalculatorAudio file size calculator: uncompressed size from duration, sample rate, bit depth, and channels.
Video Watch Time CalculatorCalculate total video watch hours from views and average duration.
