"Big-Time" Counter?

Grazie wrote on 11/14/2004, 3:09 PM

I'm working on a Counter that will demonstrate millions of items being released/lent from this organisation. I'm starting of with the Time Frame counter . .. I thought I would "blank-off" the unwanted 0,000,000;XX "XXs" at the end? Anybody got any other thoughts?

Grazie

Why not use a counter created by Swish?

Put the timecode counter effect on a transparent generated media event on a track of it's own and use the cookie cutter to mask off the parts you don't want.

Download this VEG:

Count Up/Down Sports Clock

and it will show you exactly what you need to do.

Create the BIG time counter by adding bunch of little time counters (at different times and formats) together. Having the smaller counters merge and disolve in the BIG counter close to your target time. This way you don't have actually have to count to a million which will save rendering time.

I also believe that the show "Sesame Street' on PBS have all the counting copyrights locked up. But I might be wrong about that.
