Thank you for your response.

Yes It will if you use absolute frames but then you get a comma after 1,000. it doesn’t exactly look like a date. Maybe no one will notice. I rendered absolute frames to a mp4 then stretched to slow it down. Sort of works. disappointed the velocity envelope doesn’t work as shown in the three different videos on YouTube. Found some glichiness in VP14 by the way. Now I would like to overlay the numbers on my pictures of Chinese inventions and Greek ships in the first century.

I’ll be smarter next time I do something like this.

Actually, I’m trying to count up from 1 to 2017. The intent is to create a video showing how technology and invention have accelerated in the past 160 years or so compared to the previous 1840 years. Thought I could do this quickly. Nope.

After watching several YouTube videos, it seemed likely I could use timecode and the velocity envelope to do this. And the answer is Nope. No, I don’t think you can do that. in fact, I followed the instructions to the letter, and several variations and no, I don’t think that works. The velocity envelope will work for video. You may be able to stop or even reverse it but not timecode. I’ve spent a good deal of time trying this with both Vegas versions 12 and 14. I’ve got to move on.

yeah sure…but

with a little investigation I find, yes you can affect velocity of a video. What I can’t do is create a velocity envelope to slow or reverse timecode inserted into a blank text field. That’s what I am trying to do. There are examples of this on YouTube. I have painstakingly followed three videos step by step. Buy no, you can’t do that.

Posted on YouTube too.

Thanks,
