  • Counter from 0000000 to 2000000 over an hour

    Posted by Tim French on June 9, 2007 at 9:37 am

    Hi,

    Now i’ve seen a million threads asking about counters but I’m not finding any solutions to my problem.

    I need to create a simple white on black count up from 0 to 2000000 over the space of an hour, I’ve tried after fx (5.5) and it will only go up to 30000 now I could create 2 hours of time code counter, mask out the markers and reposition the numbers but that all seems a bit last resort.

    At my disposal I have final cut studio 1, after fx 5.5 and shake.

    Thanks

    Tim

    Don’t know of any plugins that will do what you need, might be one somewhere? I do know of another TC plugin though, might be useful: https://homepage.mac.com/fearless/FileSharing32.html

    Thanks to Peter Barrett (a.k.a. fearless) for the above!

    But included with FCP, you’re idea of using the TC generators is the only way I know of to do the job… yeah, what you didn’t want to hear.

    That sure sounds like the easiest solution. Why fight it?

    The Shake Text node comes in handy for stuff like this.
    Paste this into your node workspace:

    Text1 = Text(720, 576, 1, “{teller}”, “Courier”, 100, xFontScale/GetDefaultAspect(),
    1, width/2, height/2, 0, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 45, 0,
    1, int teller = time*200000/3600);

    Regards,
    Bj
