FAQ

What line formats can I paste?

Each non-empty line can be MM:SS, H:MM:SS (or HH:MM:SS), or a plain number interpreted as seconds. Lines starting with # are treated as comments.

How is the total built?

Every parsed segment is converted to seconds, summed, then shown as a human-readable total. Fractional seconds from decimals are supported where the parser allows.

Why might my total differ from my NLE?

Editing apps may use drop-frame timecode, different rounding, or frame-based math. This page sums parsed wall-clock style durations for planning.

Can I mix formats on different lines?

Yes—each line is interpreted independently before summing. Keep units consistent within a line.

Does this upload my clip list?

No. Parsing and addition run in your browser; nothing is intentionally sent to a server for the calculation.

Is this professional post-production advice?

No. It is a quick planning helper for podcasts, playlists, and rough edits.
