  • elapsed time – split times display possible? how to?

    Posted by Tom Baldwin on August 28, 2009 at 3:53 pm

    I want to have the following display on video.

    Let’s say 10 events occur in a segment. Marker1 – Marker10

    I want a TIME disply that shows….

    START( 00:000 ), M1 split time, M2 split time, M3 split time, … M10 Split time and Total elapsed time.

    There may be multiple sets of these 10 or so markers that I would want treated individually. iow, M11 would be a new START.

    Any suggestions on how I might go about setting this up?

    Thanks,

    Tom B

    I don’t know that I understand what you are wanting to do exactly. But to find out the length between each marker just double click between them and you will see a bar appear between the markers and the bottom left (below the time line) you will see the time that is encapsuled between the two markers.

    Ok, mine is not responding exactly as you say ( V8P ) but I did notice something on the lower right. When I double click I get three time items.

    Selection Start | Selection End | Selection Length

    Here is what I would like.

    Let’s say the video is playing. As the video plays I would like a time notation playing (similar to the SMPTE track effect) That displays……

    Selection Length from START to M1, then selection length from M1 to M2, etc. When it gets to M10 I would also like to see total elapsed time from START to M10. Again I would like this overlaid on the video similar to the SMPTE Time effect.

    I guess I don’t understand the benefit of this or why what is there already won’t work. However, with that said, you can go here and post a request for a script that should be able to do what you want.

    Here is the link.

    Thank you for the link. Perhaps I did not express myself well. What I want is not already there. I want these items overlaid on the actual video. When the final product video plays, I want to see these times displayed.

    I want to see the action and I want to know how long the actions take. I want it displayed much like the Sony SMPTE time counter is displayed when one inserts it on a track.

    For instance if you threw 3 basketballs through the hoop, I want to see the video of you performing the action. I also want a clock on screen ( not simply on the Vegas interface ) that shows me how long it took you to sink all three and what your split times were between baskets. Start / basket=m1 / basket=m2 / basket=m3 and Stop.

    So the counter might show 3:07 for m1 meaning you took 3 seconds to sink that one, then 1:37 for m2 meaning you took only a second and a half to sink the second one / then 2.15 or 2 seconds for the 3rd shot. The total elapsed timer would show 7:02 as total elapsed time from Start to sinking of 3rd basket.
