Creating Countdown Clock

adguy31 wrote on 5/10/2004, 10:30 AM

Other than digital juice's volume 8, I have not seen a countdown clock very similar to what you see on tv or at the movies (that takes up the full screen has has the beeps everytime it goes around). Is there something out there that I can use for some effects purposes. I am sure I could make one but would rather buy an .avi if it's at all possible. Thanks.

Seems like Kelly (Chienworks) made something like this sometime back. Not sure if the files are still around at his or Spots site.

There is a Vegas project file at the Sundance Media web site that will generate the "Academy Leader" type slate you're looking for. It's called "SMPTE Universal Leader.veg"
