add video counter / timer to footage

[stackner]

what i want to do is when i do all my effects to my video with adobe premiere (can use other tools if needed) to add a counter / timer to the bottom or top edge of the video like with some dvds when you get the extras that still have it on the bottom or top edge. i know how to add things over video but a program or plugin to generate the counter?

I don't know if this suits you but have a look on this

Here is an AviSynth script

# Add time to a movie
CR = chr(13)
SP = " "

t = 0.0

avisource( "movie.avi" ) 

W = Width
H = Height
ftime = 1.0/Framerate

ScriptClip( last , "  t = t + ftime      "   + CR +  \
                        "  s = time_str( t )  "   + CR +  \
                        "  Subtitle(   s  ,  x = (W/2) ,  y = (H-20)  )  "  )

return( last )


# Returns a string representing "sec" seconds in HH:MM:SS.SSS format

Function time_str(  float sec )
{
	f = int(  (Frac(sec) * 1000.0) + 0.5 )
	t = int( sec )

	ss = t % 60
	t = t / 60
	mm = t % 60 
	t = t / 60
	hh = t 

	str = LeftStr(  ( "0" + String( hh )  ) , 2 ) + ":" + \
                          LeftStr(  ( "0" + String( mm )  ) , 2 ) + ":" + \
                          LeftStr(  ( "0" + String(ss ) ) , 2 ) + "." + \		
                          LeftStr(  (  String(f) + "00" ) , 3 ) 

	return( str )
}

its supposed to be HH:MM:SS.FF (frames = F) and its called smpte time code ..

you will also see reel , shot, camera and some more info sometimes.

you can add this on a sony vegas system very easy ..
