FluxCapacitor reconciles timecode across multiple cameras — even when they were never jam-synced, or were shot at different frame rates. Point it at the sync point you know, and it works out where every other camera should be. No more squinting at a calculator or a spreadsheet trying to convert 23.976 against 29.97 drop-frame in your head. WHAT IT DOES - Reconcile timecode across any number of cameras at once - Handle mixed frame rates side by side — 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97 DF/NDF, 30, 50, 59.94, 60, 119.88, 120, and custom rates - Correct drop-frame and non-drop-frame counting automatically - Run every camera's timecode live together with J/K/L transport controls - Hold any one camera to re-sync it by hand without disturbing the rest - Keep a Time of Day reference clock right alongside your cameras - Two looks: a clean modern panel, or a retro time-circuits display BUILT FOR THE EDIT BAY Everything runs instantly and entirely on your device. There's no account, no sign-in, no network, and nothing is ever uploaded — it works the same on set with no signal as it does at your desk. FluxCapacitor is free. If it saves you some time, there's a "buy me a coffee" link inside, and more free tools at RampantOctopus Softworks.
