time countdown in Vegas Pro 19

Hello,

I have a footage which showing participants and a game they are in. This game is 7 minutes long.

I would like to embed a time countdown clocker on my footage. I want to show 7:00 (min:sec), after 1 second 6:59, after 1 second 6:58 and then till 0:00 will be reached.

Let's say that the cut video has duration 7:00.

Is it possible to embed such countdown clocker on a video in Vegas Pro 19? Is it third-party payable feature or maybe Vegas Pro 19 can do it for me as a prebuilt feature?

Thank you in advance for your help

Regards

Marcin

Download these projects:

Place one of these projects on a track above your video.

Reverse the newly added event on the timeline.

Chroma Key for Green and Blue or set Alpha to anything except Source Alpha to achieve different looks for the Black project.

@marcinzm or use this free OFX https://www.hlinke.de/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:vegas_pro_ofx

and make sure to tick "Run clock backward"

Play around with the parameters, they are pretty easy to figure out. Just stretching the event in the timeline will make the clock to wrap around every 10s, make sure to set a duration for the event, the default is 10sec.

One downside though is the render time is ridiculously long.

I had been looking for something like this for a long time and had never found it.
