Countdown
Does anyone know of a plug-in that will create a countdown. I need to go from 15:00 to 0:00. I’ve done it in the Illusion efx, but it doesn’t look that great. Any suggestions? Thanks

How about an aston! No, only joking. If you have access to ae the numbers filter will do the job, with all the usual font variations.

The last one we did was a 30:00 countdown on an old Texas! Thanks for the suggestion about AE. The problem yesterday was the gfx guy was busy and had the AE box tied up. I did it by using the Illusion efx timecode for 15:00, rendered it for about 50:00 and then played it back in reverse while recording on the digi deck. Then I diged that into AVID and layed it in, put a luma key on it and it works, sort of…. Not the recommended way to spend the afternoon! I would still like to find a plug in that would count down.
Thanks…

You can create a countdown leader when you digital cut. However you must be in local mode not remote to access this option.

Yes. But this isn’t leader, it’s a countdown that will be on a large projection screen for a break in a meeting, i.e., “return in 15:00”. It’s keyed over video and stays up for 15min. to tell the attendees when to come back. I found a source in VisArts graphic generater we use for lower thirds in broadcast. Thanks for all the suggestions.
