Countdown Timer

[Raniburger]

Hey Guys,

Does anyone know where I could get my hands on a video file (mpeg, avi etc) of the old-school countdown timers that I could use in a home-made DVD? You know... the ones where they had a round clock-face and were grey & flickering, with the numbers in the middle that would count down to 0?

I can't find one anywhere & it's proving too difficult for me to create for myself...

Any help is appreciated...

Thanks...

Premiere has this as a preset as well, and you can download some modern versions from microsoft as an addon to WMM - they are just DV files.

in the same vein as this thread. i've been wanting to make a full screen countdown timer.

one that counts down from -0:05 to 10:00 to -2:00 to 5:00 to -2:00 to 5:00. what program would be good to accomplish this?

basically a boxing timer, with a 5 seconds warning (about to start), 10 minute round, 2 minute rest, 5 minute round, 2 minute rest, & another 5 minute round.

You're putting Mr Slug and Mr Salt in the ring?

no

i would like to create a dvd that could be used as a timer for simulating mixed martial arts fighting rounds. i've already got the audio created.

5 second count down, bell rings to start the first round (10 minutes), there is a 5 minute warning, a 1 minute warning, a 10 second warning, a bell rings to end the first round.. then music plays during the 2 minute rest period..

it's basically the same thing for the 2nd & 3rd round, except except they're 5 minutes.
