    you can also use this expression with a slider to make a hrs:min:sec:1/100 timer bu masking out the top dot in the last column

    timeToTimecode(t = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”), timecodeBase = 100)

    just took the basic expression from the global properties and changed the timecode base and added a slider to change the number.

  • check antiailiasing in interpretation and make sure it’s set to more accurate and not faster which is the default

    check field interpretation and position.

    just did this

    add a slider to a blank source text layer and then add this expression:

    timeToTimecode(t = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”)+ thisComp.displayStartTime, timecodeBase = 60, isDuration = false)

    Animate the slider 1400.00 will give you 00:24:00:00 then just add a mask to remove the first two digits. because you change the timecode base to 60 you end up with a timer that will count in whole seconds. .1 on the slider = 6 seconds.

    500 fps takes special gear. are u sure it wasn’t shot at 1/500 second?

    If it’s really 500 fps then time remapping is easy because 1 second in real time will have 500 frames so you should have no frame blending problems or extra frames

    just set keyframes where you want to speed up and slow down then drag them around by selecting all keyframes right of the point you want to change and work from left to right.

    did that make sense? after you get the timing the way you want you may want to ease in and out.

    I assume 6.5 or earlier. There is a setting in preferences that says something like resize effects controls.

    make sure your layers are not bigger than they need to be, turn off unseen shadows, limit shadow resolution in the comp settings. I find AE faster than C4D with ray tracing and antiailias set hi.

    check the help files… you do it the same way. show rulers and then drag.
