File Timecode

Uploaded files can be viewed in the Louper dashboard, as well as in rooms, review links and showcases. When you open a file, the progress bar and standard playback time (MM:SS / MM:SS) are displayed. You can click the arrow next to the playback time to switch between Standard time, Frame counter, and Full timecode.

By default, files uploaded to Louper have a starting timecode of 00:00:00:00. If a file contains embedded timecode metadata, Louper will automatically use the file's original starting timecode instead. You can also override this by setting a custom starting timecode.
