  adding a clock to a sequence

  Posted by Jonny Webb on November 20, 2013 at 2:34 pm

  jeez I hope someone can help. ive reached the hairpulling point…

  In short, I have a sequence with a few video layers. The primary layer is a whole day edited down to 10minutes – lots of small clips on the timeline.

  I need to put a clock in the corner
  1) so, a new transparent video with a time code and cut it into lots of small pieces, calculate/guess the correct time and enter that as an offset – in each clip… That’ll take all day!! So obviously not.
  2) Add the timecode right on the first clip (cant crop it, so mask it?) apply look&feel, copy to next clip… Again ALL DAY METHOD

  So whats the right way (that gets the job done quickly)
  Thanks.

  your transparent layer should be one clip spanning the entire sequence, not cut up.
  Apply effect to the transparent layer, Also, AE has more options for this.
