Used to number and identify each frame of the camera roll or editing timeline?

• A. Clip Number
• B. Frame Counter
• C. Timecode
• D. Sequence ID

Answer: (C)

Timecode is a clock-like label that numbers each frame, giving a precise, universal reference for every moment in both the camera roll and the editing timeline. It is usually shown as hours:minutes:seconds:frames and travels with the footage, so editors can pinpoint exact frames, sync audio, and conform edits reliably across different clips and devices. This per-frame labeling is what makes timecode the standard way to identify specific frames in post-production. Clip number identifies a single clip in a project bin or library, not every frame across the timeline. A frame counter is a real-time readout of how many frames have elapsed in the current context, useful for navigation but not a universal per-frame identifier. Sequence ID refers to a label for a sequence, not the per-frame labeling across clips.
