Any ideas for a stopwatch/timer?
Hi there folks
I am using AE CS3 on my mac and would like to put a cool looking stopwatch/timer over my video.
I have two options available: Timecode and an expression ‘Current Time Format’
However, they both show columns for hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds and I would like to remove the hours so that only minutes, seconds and milliseconds show.
The Timecode does not offer different time display format options and I don’t understand how to change the expression in order for it to only show minutes and seconds on the timer (see below)
timeToCurrentFormat()
Does anyone know of any stopwatch/timer scripts or plugins for either AE or Premiere Pro CS3 for Mac or know how to alter the existing expression to remove the hours from showing? I would be grateful for any help,
Many thanks, Rosie 🙂

Here’s a link to an expression to build your own clock/counter. You can modify the end of the expression to output the values that you need (there’s a description of how the expression works at the bottom of the page)
