  • Stopwatch Effect???

    Posted by Dm34m on September 3, 2007 at 5:14 pm

    Hello,

    I’m trying to put together a short video clip for my website – with a running time / stopwatch effect overlayed on the bottom. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do it.

    If anybody has any ideas PLEEEEASE let me know.

    Thank you for your time,
    Mike

    Are you talking a second hand stopwatch (old school) or a digital stopwatch?

    Dan has a universal timer here if you want a digital one:

    If you mean an Old School sweep second hand (that snaps at each second) add this expression to the rotation of the Second Hand:

    Math.floor(time)*6

    Move the anchor point of the second hand to wherever you want it to rotate from with the Pan Behind Tool.
