Well, I searched around and only found some posts from 3-7 years ago so I'm hoping maybe there's an easier way to do this these days...

I have a video file (WMV but could be whatever) and I just want to add a countdown timer to the corner of it. Is there any way to do this? I don't care what software I'll need to do it, just want something that will work.

I've used a software program called CountdownCreator but it degrades the quality of the video enough that I'm not happy with it.

Any help or tutorials would be great.

Thanks.
