The script was written to create accurate timecode which is based on the computer's time of day. It can be used for creating slates, time labels on security footage, live cameras, etc. It is useful for checking latency with other live sources and encoders.

***Show Frames**: Checking this will display the frames component (:FF) of the timecode. This could potentially slow down older computers because every frame must be rendered. You can keep an eye on this with the CPU usage box at the bottom right corner of the OBS application.

***Show UTC(GMT)**: When checked, the time and date will be displayed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Coordinated Universal Time or UTC is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is not adjusted for daylight saving time. It is effectively a successor to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

***Update when not in program**: When checked, the time will continue to be updated even when not in program. This can be useful when making isolated recordings for later logging, keeping timecode running on the OBS multiviewer, sending via NDI feeds, ect. By default it is disabled to minimize CPU load, especially with "*show frames*" checked.

***Timecode does not advance:** Make sure the source is in program and currently active or enable "Update when not in program". Also make sure the correct source is set and hasn't been renamed.

***Clock is not correct:** Make sure your computer's clock is displaying correctly, including time zone and daylight savings / standard time. You may also want to synchronize your computer's clock with an internet time server.

***My CPU usage goes up when I select frames:** Unfortunately this is unavoidable. Each frame is required to be processed and rendered. On most machines, this will only add 1-2% max to the CPU processing load.
