    I want to generate some timecode to use as a composite element in a project. It's only for effect though, so coolness is the priority - not accuracy. Vegas will generate rock-solid timecode for me, but the font that it uses is a) boring, and 2) hard-coded and unchangeable. My first thought was Avisynth, but AFAIK it won't do timecode. Anyone know of a program that will let me generate timecode with control over the font?

    I think that would work for a static counter, but I want running timecode. Short of typing each number in manually, I can't figure out a way to do it in SSA. I haven't had much time to work with it, but there's no obvious "generate timecode" switch like I was hoping for...

    Well, there is a digital stopwatch called Xnote Stopwatch. It is shareware, but you cannot change the font, but you can change the colors of the digits and background. Just capture it with WME9.Click here.
    Hello.
