Case contract

Parse a non-drop label HH:MM:SS:FF (exactly two digits per field, colons only) at integer fps to a frame count from midnight. Hours 0-23, minutes and seconds 0-59, frames below fps; anything else, including drop-frame separators, returns None.

Why this case matters

Timecode arithmetic errors misplace edits, commercial breaks and captions against the broadcast clock.
