About

Python Module for manipulating SMPTE timecode, with negative frame number support. stimecode is for 'signed timecode'.

    from stimecode import STimecode
    from timecode import Timecode

    tc1 = STimecode('29.97', '00:00:20;00')
    tc2 = Timecode('24', '00:00:30:00')
    tc3 = tc1 - tc2
    assert tc3.framerate == '29.97'
    assert tc3.frame_number == -120
	assert tc3.frames == 121
    assert tc3 == '-00:00:00;04'
	
	tc4 = tc2 - tc1
    assert tc4.framerate == '24'
    assert tc4.frame_number == 120
    assert tc4 == '00:00:05:00'

This library is a fork of the timecode. Although STimecode is a child class of Timecode, STimecode overloads all attributes of Timecode.

There are destructive deviation from original timecode in the following points:

• __init__ accepts frame_number instead of frames.
• Does not arise an error even frame_number being negative.
• Results of multiplication and division between timecodes are not same to these of timecode. While the original timecode caluculates by frames, stimecode calculates by frame_numbers.
• Arthmetics between two timecodes with different framerate will return the framerate of first term. (Ex: framerate of tc3 = tc1 + tc2 is that of tc1)

Other defferences are:

• Arthmetics between stimecode and timecode is supported. Result is always stimecode.
• __neg__ operator and reflected arthmetics operators such as __radd__ defined.
• frames is still supported.

    from stimecode import STimecode
    from timecode import Timecode

    tc1 = STimecode('29.97', '00:00:20;00')
    tc2 = Timecode('24', '00:00:30:00')
    tc3 = tc1 - tc2
    assert tc3.framerate == '29.97'
    assert tc3.frame_number == -120
	assert tc3.frames == 121
    assert tc3 == '-00:00:00;04'
	
	tc4 = tc2 - tc1
    assert tc4.framerate == '24'
    assert tc4.frame_number == 120
    assert tc4 == '00:00:05:00'

The rest of usages are same to timecode, see readme of timecode.
