Inputs

Provide the following 3 values to run the Clip Timestamp Generator:

  • Start Time (minutes) [number] (required)
  • Start Seconds [number] — default 0
  • Clip Duration (seconds) [number] (required)

What it calculates

This tool returns:

  • Start Timestamp — primary result
  • End Timestamp
  • Duration (sec)

Worked example

For the sample inputs below:

  • Start Time (minutes): 100
  • Start Seconds: 0
  • Clip Duration (seconds): 100

the Clip Timestamp Generator produces:

  • Start Timestamp: 100:00
  • End Timestamp: 101:40
  • Duration: 100 sec

How it works

The result is derived through the following steps:

  1. startTotal = startMinutes * 60 + startSeconds
  2. endTotal = startTotal + clipDuration
  3. endMin = floor(endTotal / 60)
  4. endSec = endTotal % 60
  5. formatTime = (m, s) => `${m}:${s.toString().padStart(2, '0')}`
