    I am trying to add a countdown to our churchs welcome video. Haven’t been able to get one that looks decent. Need it to be about 1 min 55 sec long preferring it to look like: 1:55, 1:54 etc.

    Not a video producer or anything, so anything complex will require patience on you guys part! lol Im just someone trying to help out in the media department at our church

    Could always add a TC reader or generator effect to a slug. Have it count backwards and crop out any portion you don’t like.

    i downloaded one of their chroma key ones…but when i put the keyer filter on it, it wouldn’t allow the numbers to be seen..any suggestions?

    If you have the Studio package with Motion, there’s a counter generator there. It’s fairly easy to use as long as you’re not uncomfortable doing a Motion round-trip 🙂

    Setting the start count value higher than the end count, it will of course count backwards.

    Find it in th Library tab under: Generators -> Text Generators -> Numbers
