Based on posts in this forum I've been able to use the Timecode FX to place exact times over video of various track meets. I have also been able to use the velocity envelope to "freeze" the time for a few seconds in order to display lap splits. Very nice. I also use two cookie cutters to trim the un-needed leading and trailing digits (I don't need hours or thousandths of a second for 100M hurdles).
One problem: the render times are incredibly long! On my 2,8 GHz Pentium 4 with WinXP Pro (SP1), it takes 6x the running time to render to a DV AVI file using the standard NTSC DV template. This is much longer than render times for other video I have done.
I'm creating the timecode using a generated black media overlaid on top of my video tracks.
Any thoughts?
