How do you create a swimming timer with milliseconds

Does anyone know how to create a swim timer in milliseconds in Adobe Premiere Pro?
If you've watched olympic swimming, you've seen the swim timers on the bottom right. I'd like to recreate this in Premiere Pro, showing MM:SS:Milliseconds. (1:25.78).
I've tried several techniques, but I can't get the milliseconds correct!!
Here's what I've tried.My media is 29fps.
1. Create a blank Transparent Video
2. Add a the "timecode" effect ot the video.
3. Select the preferences -> show audio time units in the display.
4. for the Time Display in the time code I used 30 Non-Drop Frame.
(see a youtube tutorial I followed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xt3V8JL4LnA)
This will show correct up to the seconds, but the format for the last is the frame # (up to 30).
While I've tried changing it to 60 Non-Drop Frames, it only goes up to 60 (again # of frames). How do you get milliseconds?
The difference between first and second in swim races is milliseconds.
Thanks for your help.

Yes. The finish is measured in milliseconds. But there are only 29.97, or maybe 59.94 frames per second in video. So getting to the correct millisecond will be impossible except with great luck.
In fact, you have probably noticed that you can see the hand about to touch, and see it touching, but not all that often will you see the exact moment it touches.
So, if you want to create a timer yourself, you can do that, and cheat by using titles to create your numbers. You can make it look like your timer is correct. But it won't be.
If you want to create 60 different  titles to use to cover up the frames portion of the timecode, the first is 00, then 17, then 33, 50, 67, and keep going... As you can see when you divide 1000 by 60, the real numbers are 16.6667 and 33.33333 but that is just not worth worrying about, I suppose.

  • How do you create a jar file with txt and classes?

    Hey, I'm trying to create code to create a jar file with a text file, but I can't figure out how to add the text file. Here is what I have so far:
    try {
                // Name of jar file to write
                String archiveFile = "test.jar";
                Manifest jman = new Manifest();
                try {
                    // Create a manifest from a file
                    //InputStream fis = new FileInputStream("manifestfile");
                    //Manifest manifest = new Manifest(fis);
                    // Construct a string version of a manifest
                    StringBuffer sbuf = new StringBuffer();
                    sbuf.append("Manifest-Version: 1.0\n");
                    sbuf.append("Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1\n");
                    sbuf.append("Created-By: 1.5.0_19-137 (Apple Inc.)\n");
                    sbuf.append("Main-Class: Main\n");
                    sbuf.append("Class-Path: lib/swing-layout-1.0.3.jar\n");
                    sbuf.append("X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by build\n");
                    // Convert the string to a input stream
                    InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(sbuf.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"));
                    // Create the manifest
                    jman = new Manifest(is);
                } catch (IOException e) {
                FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(archiveFile, true);// archive file is jar file name
                JarOutputStream out = new JarOutputStream(stream, jman);
                out.putNextEntry(new JarEntry("test.txt"));
                out.closeEntry();
                out.close();
            } catch (Exception ex) {
            }It creates the .jar file with the correct manifest but I can't get it to write the test.txt or anything else into the jar file.

    Alright, my question has changed. Here's the code:
    try {
                // Name of jar file to write
                String archiveFile = "test.jar";
                Manifest jman = new Manifest();
                try {
                    // Create a manifest from a file
                    //InputStream fis = new FileInputStream("manifestfile");
                    //Manifest manifest = new Manifest(fis);
                    // Construct a string version of a manifest
                    StringBuffer sbuf = new StringBuffer();
                    sbuf.append("Manifest-Version: 1.0\n");
                    sbuf.append("Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1\n");
                    sbuf.append("Created-By: 1.5.0_19-137 (Apple Inc.)\n");
                    sbuf.append("Main-Class: Main\n");
                    sbuf.append("Class-Path: lib/swing-layout-1.0.3.jar\n");
                    sbuf.append("X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by build\n");
                    // Convert the string to a input stream
                    InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(sbuf.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"));
                    // Create the manifest
                    jman = new Manifest(is);
                } catch (IOException e) {
                FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(archiveFile, true);// archive file is jar file name
                JarOutputStream out = new JarOutputStream(stream, jman);
                out.putNextEntry(new JarEntry("test.txt"));
                out.write("Hi".getBytes());
                out.flush();
                out.closeEntry();
                out.close();
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,ex.toString(),"BUG!",JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
            }It creates the jar file with the txt file inside it, but I can't write "Hi" inside of the text file. Any ideas?

  • How can you create a karaoke video with the music lyrics?

    I'm working on a generic music video.  I want to add written lyrics to the video so that people watching can follow along with the singing.  What is the best way to create trailing lyric highlights to the way the song is sung?  

    QuickTime Player Pro ($30) and lots of patience.
    QuickTime Player supports "text" tracks and, with some special manipulation, can display the text "karaoke" style.
    QuickTime Player 7.6.6 (not the X version) can play ".kar" files. Millions of them found on the Web and easy to download. They include MIDI audio (computer generated sound) and are very tiny in file size.
    http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/64/
    I downloaded a .kar file using QuickTime Player Pro and the Movie Properties window, extracted the text track and then changed the text using TextEdit. I then added my new text track and deleted the original.

  • HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

    iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.  I've seen reference to the  "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app.  I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for.  I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

  • How can you create a playlist with music and music video and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?

    How can you create a playlist on Ipod touch with music and music video,  and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?  I can download, create a playlist with both music and music video, stream that through the Apple TV with no problem.  The sound and the information show up on the TV, but when it gets to a music video, it only shows the information and "artwork".
    I also have a video playlist - videos play fine through the Apple TV, but will not shuffle through all videos - continues to repeat the same one.  I have most definitely selected shuffle in both locations - from the playlist and on the ipod video screen while video is playing.

    I finally got it... had to sync the photos with the music in iMovie, arrange the voiceover in GarageBand then export to iTunes, and then I was able to put it all together in iMovie and burn in iDVD... had a few glitches along the way but finally finished : )

  • How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some

    Hi
    As my topic says
    How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some custom presets?
    Assume you have Flash Builder 4.5, CS Extension builder 2.0, Xcode 4.5.1 running under MacOS 10.8.

    I understand why you need updated running headers in your book. To a sighted reader these serve as a guide to where you are and help you find things quickly.  In addition, if you are exporting your data to XML or HTML from the tagged PDF it would also be important to have these in the proper location. 
    But for accessibility purposes, it doesn't have to be there because the screen reader reads everything in linear order, line by line.  No one is looking at the page.  A user listening to the screen reader read the page is going to hear this heading, just before the actual word itself. So they will hear the first word on the page twice.  It's not the end of the world if it's there, but such headings are not necessary for accessibility unless they are not repetitive and contain information that is not otherwise available.
    So I would say, fine if you need them or want them there, it's just one word. 
    I think you should try exporting your book to PDF (or even just a chapter of the book) and look at the tags panel in Acrobat to see if you are getting the result you want.  I can't tell you exactly what you should do to get those results, you are using a plug-in I don't have. 
    I can tell you I didn't have to add the headers to any article at all, they just automatically export if the other articles in the file are added and you don't select the header style option "not for export as XML."
    You may not experience the same results with your plug-in, but I think it will probably work the same way. 
    Give it a try and best of luck.

  • How do you create a 800 x 200 pixell slide show with Photoshop Elements 8?

    I have a banner for a web page that measures 800 x 200 pixels. I would like to create a slide show in the whole volume but I have been unable to discover where to change the standard size of the slide show window to 800x200 in Elements 8. Can anyone help?
    Al

    Many thanks for your reply. I edited a series of photographs to 800x200 as
    you described and then attempted to create a slideshow in Slideshow editor.
    I get a good horizontal fit in the slide frame but there are black bars top
    and bottom since the frame is more than 200 pix high. My question really is
    how do I create a 800x200 slide frame that the edited photographs will fit.
    Subject: How do you create a 800 x 200 pixell slide
    show with Photoshop Elements 8?
    In the slideshow editor interface click once on your image in the main
    window - you will see a bounding box appear together with editing options.
    Click on the More Editing button and when your image opens in full edit
    select the crop tool.
    Set width to 800 px and height to 200 px and resolution to 72
    Drag out your crop rectangle and move your image to the position you want -
    this avoids image distortion but you will sacrifice parts of the original to
    create a banner.
    Press Ctrl=S to save and check version set to save an edit without affecting
    the original.
    Press Ctrl+W to close and your cropped image should automatically pop up in
    the slideshow editor.

  • How do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?

    how do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?
    Without free hand creating the sizing?

    Assuming by "interactive text boxes" you mean form fields; in Acrobat, make a form field, then copy it and paste. (GIve the pasted copy a different name so they don't genetate the same field feedback.) Now you have two fields of the exact same size. Shift-click or marquee-drag to select both, then right-click and choose a command from the Align, Distribute or Center menu.

    How do you create a appleid but i cant select the none option and i don't have anything to pay with.

    Hello, did you mean create an Apple ID without any credit card info?
    If that I can help. Just go to iTunes and choose a "Free" apps to download. After that, it will pop up with "sign in with existing Apple ID" or "Create a New Apple ID". Click create a new apple id. through this process, you will see a "none" choice in payment method while registering the Apple ID.

  • How could you create 'Last Time Contacted' Smart Mailbox in Mail app Lion?

    Hello!
    For the purposes of maintaining regular contact with a large group of contacts in your address book:
    How could you create a smart mailbox in the Mail App (Lion) which contained that last unique sent/received email from each individual contact?
    So ideally just the last email per contact. For my purposes I would then sort by date and find the contacts I havent emailed in a while and re-initiate conversation.
    I also thought that perhaps it would be possible through Automator? (I am not very familiar with how to use this app)
    Any ideas/solutions would be very appreciated!
    nmarks
    (running lion 10.7.4 macbook pro late 2011)

    Okay, I think I just discoverd a workaround. This will work if you're lucky enough to already have a smart-mailbox folder that persists after close. (Somehow I had two such folders that already existed and weren't subject to the mysterious disappearances on closing the app; perhaps I created them in a previous OS X release?) Anyway, here goes:
    Locate an already existing smart mailbox folder that's working properly. Select the folder (in the sidebar).
    Duplicate that folder using the "Duplicate Smart Mailbox" Command. (It's on the contextual pop-up menu or available via the gear icon in the lower left of the window). This should produce and exact copy of the folder and the boxes inside, appearing at the bottom of the smart mailbox list.
    Edit the duplicate folder to put the smart mailboxes you want in it, and delete the previous mailboxes (duplicates) that you don't want.
    The new folder structure should now persist between launches of the app.
    There you go. Not the most elegant process, but workable. Don't know if there's a method if you don't have at least one smart mailbox folder already though.

    I connected my Canon printer to time capsule, and can print OK. However, I can't get the printer scanner to work. How do you set up the scanner with Time Capsule?

    You cannot use USB. It has to be a network capable printer.. is it?? You did not indicate how it is connected.. but by wireless or ethernet then scanning is possible otherwise not.
