  “Program clock”??

  Posted by Yoshiko Tanaka on April 12, 2006 at 11:53 am

  Hi,

  I am working on a music video project and my client asked to “include the Credit in the programme clock of the Film”.

  What is “Program clock” and what does this mean? I did some reasearch but I am very confused with “PCR (program clock reference)” Is it the same thing?

  Sorry, I am quite new to the broadcast work…

  Thanks bunch in advance!

  If you have Premiere Pro, you can create the Universal Countdown Leader (or something like this), which counts down from 8-2 and has a visible little circle 1 frame before the program starts, thus it’s much eaiser to find the very beginning.
  So if you create that clock, save as a movie, and you can return to it anytime. If you resize the clock, you can include the credits while the clock counts down.

  Google it, or click on Artbeats’ banner up here… 🙂

  Hello,

  Just got a word from the client and they meant “countdown” animation. BUT they also want the credits to be displayed in the countdown animation. I know the clients are alwats right but I haven’t seen the treatment like that, so not sure what to do…. any opinion??

  Also is there free default countdown clip that I can download from somewhere?

  Thanks bunch in advance,

  Yoshiko
