SUMMARY

Video editing programs universally display time in fractions of a second, with common frame rates being 25 or 30 fps for standard domestic recorders, and higher rates for specialized cameras. VLC Media Player allows users to navigate to specific timestamps and jump frame by frame, facilitating precise time interval calculations. However, video editors may round fractional values, which can affect accuracy. Users seeking exact frame timing should consider the capabilities of their editing software.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of frame rates, specifically 25 fps and 30 fps
  • Familiarity with VLC Media Player for video playback
  • Knowledge of video editing software capabilities
  • Basic concepts of time intervals in video playback
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced features of VLC Media Player for frame-by-frame navigation
  • Research video editing software that displays time in fractions of a second
  • Learn about high-speed camera specifications and their frame rates
  • Investigate methods to calculate time intervals between frames in video editing
USEFUL FOR

Video editors, content creators, and anyone interested in precise video playback and editing techniques.

Every video editing program shows it. Not sure about pure video players, but every editing program can play videos as well.

indeed, frame rate is your limiting factor and for standard domestic recorders, that's commonly 25 or 30 fps
then there's jumps to 60, 100's or 1000's of fps for the high speed specialist cameras

my editing software easily shows the 25 and 30 fps individual frames

I can jump to a specific second in VLC player, say 0m:02s, then jump frame by frame to the frame I want, and add the time interval between each frae x number of frames.
But are you saying editors can automatically show me time in each frame, without me having to calculate it?
like 2.04 s for example?
 
Sure.
Note that they might round values of 1/30 s to something which is not exactly 1/30 s.
