FrameCalculator from Pomfort software does way more than the title implies. Besides being able to add and subtract time code, you can also use it to multiply and divide as well. You can choose from a variety of drop and non drop frame rates, calculate the total number of frames in a sequence, calculate the estimated disk space and capture time, as well as calculate the number of feet or meters of film. Phew! What a bargain for only 19 euros (US$25). The trial version is available from their site which will let you calculate time code to your heart's content but the other features will cost you. Looks like this one is only available for you Mac folks and it sure beats trying to do this stuff in your head.
1. Here's one that's just as good. http://www.happypixelstudios.com/hwcalc/
I'ts called Hollywood Calculator. It's available in an app and a widget. The app is more functional than the widget, but the best part about both... They're FREE!
