Sony Vegas timer (timecode)

[Mike Kujbida]

Here’s a workaround for you.
Duplicate the video track.
Apply the timecode FX to the new event/track.
Apply the Chromakey FX to the new event/track and set the RGB vales to 0-0-0.
The black background should disappear.

Another way to get this is:
Simply put an extra video track above your project on
the timeline, Then you “insert” an “Empty event” and place
it on that timeline.
Now simply drop the “timecode” video fx on that empty event,
and change the “compositing mode” on that track to “subtract”.
You are now good to go.

Thanks for the great idea Steve.
BTW, “subtract” gives you black numbers while “add” gives you white ones.

You can also drop the Sony Mask Generator FX on the empty event with the Timecode FX and that will remove the black background as well.

Ahh, forgot to ask if it’s possible to change the timecodes font ?

Unfortunately no 🙁
