Help Me Find What I'm Looking For

Ok........

problem #1....... I'm really not sure what I'm looking for!
Problem #2....... where to find it!!

I'm looking to find a clip of that "countdown clock" that you sometimes see at the begining of some older footage. You know, the one that is sort of like a second hand that goes around, with numbers in the middle counting down with each revolution of the second hand.

Gee..... I guess thats the best way I can describe it! (Is this "Movie Producer" thing getting to me or what? Next thing you know I'll be walking around with a black beret on my head shouting "action" and "cut"!!!!!)

Anyway, if my description makes any sense to you, and you know where I can download such a clip, I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Albert

You can make your own. Get 10 JPG images, one of each number 10 -> 1. You'll probably have to make your own - I did just to see how it looked. Put them in the timeline, setting your still image length to 2 seconds and with each one overlaping 50% of the previous one. Put the following transition in the overlap: Clock Wipe - Clockwise, Hard Edge. Looks a little "homemade", but othewise not bad. Looked a little "choppy" in the preview screen, but when rendered into a 4 second clip, it looked pretty smooth.
