Anyone have an idea on how to create...

...a time clock effect that will be on a video clip(sort of like a security videocam or a videocamera's display) with time running(hours,minutes date as well) by. I've tried TIMECODE GENERATOR in FCP but have no luck in establishing a specific time frame I:E 2:25 P.M. or 14:25. Thanks

I created hours, minutes and seconds in three separate layers and lined them up to look like a digital readout (09:07:58PM) For the seconds, I typed in 59, 58, 57 and so on with a hard return after each. Then I keyframed the Y position of that layer to stay static for 1 second, and then increase over the course of 1 to bring up the next number. Then in Keyframe Editor, I chose After Last Keyframe>Progressive. The clock now counts down second by second. You could do the same for minutes and hours if your clock is on screen that long.
