Adding a digital timer to video

Hi,
I would like to overlay a timer onto my videoclip so that the viewer can see how long my clip is. Is there a simple way to do this?
Thanks in advance!
Bobby

AS far as I can remember in the 'Video' section of the filters list is a timecode/timer effect. This has various options once applied to your clip. This may be of help. Good luck, hope I've been of some assistance.

Adding a digital time counter for split screen...

I am recording two events that I will be displaying as on a split screen. I need to have a digital "stop watch" timer at the bottom of each screen. Is there a way to create this on the computer without actually taking video footage of a timer?
Any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks,
Dean

How to make a time lapse video in iMovie using a point and shoot camera?

I recorded an approx. 45-minute long video on my Canon point and shoot digital camera, then imported it on to my computer. (The file format is .MOV)
Now I would like to turn this video into a time lapse, of about a minute or two long. I know that iMovie HD has a time lapse feature, but it seems to only be for camcorders?
How can I import this .MOV file and turn it into a time lapse?

Kirk, I think Nancy wants to just take a frame from her video every minute or so, so that the 45 minute video runs for, say, 45 seconds.
I don't think she wants to "speed it up" and make it run at breakneck speed, but wants to put together frames taken at a particular interval ..e.g; one frame per minute.
I'm sure you know how best to do that using QuickTime. Any suggestions?
(..Otherwise, Nancy, choose a point in your video - using iMovie - about one minute into the video and then use 'Create Still Frame' (or ShiftApple'S') and make the new still frame just a few moments long ..repeat through your 45 minute movie. Drag all those 45 stills together and you have a time-lapse movie. You could make each of them one-and-a-half seconds long, and apply a half-second Cross Dissolve between each of them. You'd then have a less "stuttery" and smoother time-lapse video..)

Will After Effect work well for adding subtitles to a music video?

Will after effect work well for adding subtitles to a music video? Or is there an easier Adobe product I should use?

Is there a way to protect music and video after a change is made to the beginning of a finished movie so as not to throw off the already completed music and video timeline?
If you are referring to music in the "floating" green background, then no. It will automatically readjust itself to the start of your project each time new material is added to the beginning of your project. On the other hand, you can add your music to a clip rather than a background and this audio you can "pin" to a clip so that it remains in the same position relative to the clip and any following clips which it may overlap.

I have a new Macbook pro, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop.

I have a new Macbookbook, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop. Also i am thinking once the video is done the fan should be slowing down and getting quiet on its own.

Your fan(s) will run at high speed (i.e., loudly) while video is playing, and you can't get around that.
If your fans are not slowing down within 2-4 minutes after CPU- and/or GPU-intensive usage ends, and the application that was showing the video is still running, Quit that application. (In fact, if you're accustomed to Windows, you may not realize that simply closing a Mac application's window does not quit the application. You still need to use the Quit command in the application-name menu. There will always be a bright dot beside or below the application icon in your Dock for each application that is open.) Quit the ones you aren't using, and see whether that allows the fans to slow down without restarting the machine. If that doesn't do the trick, reset the SMC:

Thanks for your response, but copying and pasting creates a link. If the user places a check mark in one of the boxes, all the rest of the boxes will have a check mark also. I will research this some more.

How to record a time-limited video with Adobe AIR for iOS

I am trying to record a time-limited video with Adobe AIR for iOS.
For example, I want to implement the following function. Start a one-minute timer before launching CameraUI to record video. When the timeout event happens after one minute, stop recording video, close the CameraUI view and obtain the video data so far.
I have several questions related to that.
1. How to stop recording video from outside the CameraUI view(in this case, from the timeout event handler) and then close the CemeraUI view? As far as I know, to close the CameraUI view, the only way is to press the [Use Video] button or the [Cancel] button from inside the CameraUI view. Is it possible to close it from outside?
2. Even if the first problem mentioned above is solved, then how can I get the video data so far(in this case, the video data before the timeout). I know that normally we can get a MediaPromise object from MediaEvent parameter of the complete handler, and read the video data from the MediaPromise object. But obviously in this case, we can not access the MediaPromise object just because the complete handler itself will not be executed since the [Use Video] button is not pressed.
3. Is it possible to add a stopwatch to show possible remaining recording time when CameraUI view is open? It seems that the CameraUI automatically uses the full screen of iOS device(in my case, iPad) and there is no extra space to show the stopwatch.
Are there any solutions or workarounds about the three problem above? I really appreciate it if anyone has any idea about this. Thanks in advance.

You'd have more control by using the Camera object, showing the camera on a video object inside a Sprite, and capturing that. Then you could put whatever graphics alongside it on the stage.. I've used FlashyWrappers in a test to capture the video to the library. It took some work, but the test worked well...

Adding a second time capsule?

I've reviewed some of he discussion on adding a second Time Machine but two issues arise. The information relates to older Time Machine software and leads to confusion.
I have an Airport Extreme with S/W version 7.6.4 and would like to add a newer Airport Extreme to back up the older one. Reading the suggestions on adding a new TC didn't cover the newer Time Machines and I could find Apple's instructions for doing it.
Somewhere I read that the new TC could be connected to the old TC but forgot the port setup. Also, newer instructions for adding a second TC so both the old and the new acquire the same data could not be found.
Hope This question is clear. Is there help on this?

The network setup is fairly trivial.
Plug TC2 into TC1. (the hardware is Time Capsule.. TC as per your title.. or is it Airport Extreme as per your question..?? Time Machine is software on your computer.. and totally unrelated to the hardware.)
Makes no difference which way around you do it. Plug WAN of the 2nd device into LAN of the 1st device. And setup the 2nd device in bridge.. wireless is up to you.. off or on?? Roaming or not??
As far as backup is concerned.. you need to be clear in the question. And sorry it is a bit mixed up now.
But I can tell you what you cannot do.
You cannot backup to both units at once. You can however setup Time Machine in the computer to backup sequentially to both.
See Q34 http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
The TC itself cannot backup to another TC.
(extreme with hard disk amounts to the same thing.. with caveats)
You can backup one TC to another manually via a computer.. it is slow and I do not recommend it.. if a fault creeps into backup1, you are simply copying said fault to backup2.. AND it is poor for another reason.. Time Machine cannot do it.. you will need another utility eg Carbon Copy Cloner.. and even then you will probably end up backing up a huge amount of data every time.. since TM works so strangely you cannot just backup differences.

I want to purchase a two terabyte external hard drive to utilise Time Machine on my new iMac....but which one? Western Digital, Time Capsule, Seagate? Any advice would be most welcome please.

If you are looking for high quality drives and enclosures I'd recommend these 3:

I use the LaCie's, I've got three connected to my system and a 4th acting as my TM drive on my MacBook Air. Any of the above would be welcome on my desk though.

Best battery time for video

Some users in far-east asia are reporting that 60GB model battery time is 6 ~ 7 hrs for continuous video play back, and 30GB model is showing 3.5 ~ 4 hrs video play time.
(Yep, music play time is not an issue at all because it's 10 times of video play time, as you guess.)
However, according to the posts, encoded video files should be very well optimized to iPod video performance, which means that, I guess, some specific video encoding settings are very critical for the battery time.
Well I wish I can figure out what's the best settings.
My 30GB model showed 2 hrs video play time for .mp4, 368x192, 30fps, 768kbps, 44kHz, 128kbps movie.
If anybody can post your experience, it would be helpful.
Thanks,

Other people said that H.264 is the most optimized vifeo format for 5G iPOD. So H.264 format consumes less power than mp4 format. Is that correct?
Any comments are welcome.

Janieburmy,
You can always deauthorize all your machines from your store account page — just log in and view your account settings and there's a button to deauth all your machines. Which just means for the other machines, it will ask you for your store ID / password the next time you play a purchased song.
So, let's try the filter experiment.
On the start menu, click on "run". in the space it provides enter "regedit" without the quotes. This will open the registry editor.
Find the heading HKEYLOCALMACHINE. Click on it.
Find the heading SYSTEM inside it. Click on it.
Find the heading CurrentControlSet. Click
Find the heading Control. Click
Find the heading Class. Click
Find the heading that begins {4D36E965- Click
Go up to the Registry menu and select "Export Registry File... command. Make sure the "Selected Branch" radio button is checked and save that off somewhere that you can find it.
Delete the key named LowerFilter.
Select the key named UpperFilter, right click, select "modify". Then edit the text in the dialog to just say "GEARAspiWDM" followed by hitting the return key, the return after the word is important.
Then reboot, and see what iTunes does.
To get the system back to its previous state. Run Regedit again and use the Registry menu -> Import Registry File... command and select the file that you saved off in the first section.
I'm particularly interested in getting rid of the "AFS2K" driver in the chain — that's a old driver from a company that hasn't existed in years.
To answer your last question, why am I doing this?... I'm paying off a karmic debt. And someday we'll start that Tequila for Toonz paypal account and then I'll be set.

This means it was transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process. No other way for the video to be where it is located unless it was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store direct with your iPhone.
If no longer available on your computer and not purchased from the iTunes store, there are 3rd party paid apps/utilities that provide for transferring this in the opposite direction.

Time Lapse video

I wanted to make a time lapse video and I recorded 19 hours of video but now find I import it into adobe premiere pro but cannot edit it. Is there a way around this as I want to compress the 19 hours down to 10 minutes?

Premiere Pro is too simple to make a mistake in. well you can if do not know what you are doing. But obviously I would think that I do. not so long ago I found out that the biggest file that you can edit on premiere pro on windows is 3.? gigs which relates to how much memory windows can address.
I was wondering if there was a simimlar issue here with my macbook pro or was it a design issue with premiere?
1 I open premiere pro
2. I create a new project
3 bring in my footage
4 create a new sequence
but still cannot drag and drop my footage onto the time line. this has happened on two occasions
I still after creating a new project, canceling on creating a sequence until I import my movie and then drag it to the new button to create sequence, I am unable to then drag it to the time line

Time-lapse video unfocused

Hello, i got a problem When i make a time-lapse video , after adjusting my photo and synchronizing all , i'm doing the slide show at 24fps, but the final video is unfocused, what i'm doing wrong ?

Lightroom 5.2+ only does 29.97 fps so it could be the interval. It may also be that the previews haven't been rendered, so it may be worth rendering them.
