Hi all, I wonder if you can help please?
I have just filmed a Guinness World Record of 34 hours and need to have a running tally of the time taken. However, all the timecodes I can see revert back to zero after 24 hours.
How can I put a running time on the clip that goes to 34 hours?
Many thanks,
Nick
VirtualDub has a filter that can do so
Here I loaded a 70min video and I set counter to start at 23:50 , at midnight new date is shown.
That filter works only on standard VD so it will have to be AVI file.
*I don't know if VD can handle 34 hours video, but this can be any NLE issue.
** My VD crashes if I set the font size more than 300% , up to that it's fine.
Thanks guys, I will check those out but if nothing works, I will just have to explain it to Guinness. Anyway, the timecode in camera (which was filming non stop for the duration) has the "actual" time stamped so that should be good enough. Adding the clock starting from zero to the timeline is just an addendum for ease of scrubbing to certain events for matching up with the official records.
With ffmpeg you can burn the frame number with this
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "drawtext=text='%%{frame_num}'" output.mp4
Copy the cmd as bat file.
So 34X3600X25 = 3060000 frames
