Generate a time stamp

[SteveG]

I searched a bit but I can't find exactly what I would like.

You know when you watch the extra material from a movie and they play cut scenes? A lot of times they have the running time stamp on the video. Is there anything out there that would do that?

[rfjg]

You could use http://paul.glagla.free.fr/dvdate_en.htm (free for personal use) or http://www.dvdate.ru/en/dvrecdate.html (commercial). Both of these will allow you to display time code in your video.

There are also some time code generators that will put fake time stamps on video.
Can't remember where we found those last time though.

Thank you guys for the tips. I will check them out.

A fe years ago when I wanted to do that I videoed the timer under the preview monitor as some video was playing. I then captured the video, cropped it so only the timer showed and then put that on a higher track so it showed on the original video.

It was actually part of a training video about how some presentations take too long. I keyframed the timer video to get larger and larger as the speaker droned on and on

Here are some Timecode Displays for Video in various formats including PAL

You just use them to overlay on your video, very cool and very nice of MediaCollege to share them

Here is the other topic I was thinking of

I have a link in that topic to a tool that can generate time into a video clip.
