Smithy Hi, I'm using the clock text effect and want it to appear at zero for few seconds before starting. Is there a way to do this? Thanks, Smithy
[deleted] Hi Try this... Generate the Clock Title. It will appear on the overlay track. In Sequence Preview when the clock shows 0:00 right click the screen and select Take a Snapshot of Sequence. This will place an image of the screen in the Image bin. This image should show 0:00 Having got an image showing 0:00 place this at the start of the timeline. Set the duration of this 0:00 clip to one second less than the delay required .If you have this on Video Track 1 you can use Storyboard mode to set this. Drag the Clock Title so it immediately follows the 0:00 clip. (or drag your 0:00 image so it immediately precedes the Clock Title) The sequence should play 0:00 for the duration required and then the Clock will start counting seconds. (The One second less for the duration of your 0:00 clip is because the Clock starts at 0 and then counts up so you need to take into account the clock's 0:00 - 1:00 ) Nat
