Google Spreadsheet formula to calculate frames from a string value

Question:

( by Max Peleh )

Hello, 

I need to convert 00:00:09:16 like number into another format - frames, this number represents a time in Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames, for example the result of this specific converted number should be 241 (9 seconds* 25fps(or any other fps value) +16 frames), is there any way to make a formula for this?

It should look something like this 

(x-Hours*90000(frames in 1 hour) + (x-Minutes*1500(frames in minute) + x-Seconds*25(frames in second) + x-frames

Is there any way this could be possible to create in the spreadsheet?

And is there a way to apply this formula to existing document filled with these numbers without recreating the whole document / applying on each cell individually?

Thanks to anyone who will try to help me! =)

Solution:

If you have the following value in Cell A1

00:00:09:16

Then put the following formula in Cell A2:

=QUERY(SPLIT(A1;":");"select ((Col1*90000)+(Col2*1500)+(Col3*25)+(Col4)) label ((Col1*90000)+(Col2*1500)+(Col3*25)+(Col4)) '' ")

The above formula will give you the output as value:

241

And if the value in Cell A1 is: 00:22:14:11

It will display the calculated value as: 33361
