If you're making a timer longer than 4 minutes, you will need to set the font size smaller than 100 pixels. You can still scale your timer to any size using these steps here 5:27. To calculate the best font size, divide 27300 by your number of seconds (e.g. for a 10 minute timer, 27300/600 seconds = 45.5).
For some reason when I make this timer, the text doesn't align during the middle of the countdown to the same point on the screen, The first and last numbers DO line up. I am trying to do a shorter timer but this also happens with my countdown from 1:00, I seem to be doing everything exactly as you do on the video, this must be a rare problem but do you have any ideas?
Fun solution! Almost like building your own stopwatch out of spare parts. Also fun that you changed your mind on the pronunciation of 'posterize' half-way through. I think I'm with you on the later version.
3 year old video and still helping out video editors like myself... thank you for the tutorial. Always saw videos where people are making codes in After Effects... that's fine and all, but this is so much simpler lol

Is there a way to start and stop the timer for sporting events through OBS. Im looking to change the times anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes matches. I hope you can help and great video thanks so much
I assume this can work as a time of day counter, like a 24 hour clock? Haven't tried your example yet, but found this video while searching for a "time of day" counter. Great video btw. Thanks.
Quick question, can I add background wallpaper or other texts (as a new layer) to the timer? It seems the size revert back to the original scaling whenever a new wallpaper or a new text layer is added even though I've disabled the posterize time effect. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you for your time
You can add any layers you want, but just remember that any layer below the text will be masked by the rectangle. If you find Posterize Time is messing with your scaling, create a separate Graphics clip in your timeline and add your other layers to that.
I tried this method with a 30 minute timer and it was a huge pain in the neck. After almost two hours wrestling with it, I gave up and went for a basic timer. My advice is to not try this with long countdowns.
@@ThePremierePro when I do it for a timer of 1 min it works perfectly, but when I do it for 10 min for example, when I want to make a frame of position of the text and change the position, the max I can do is -32768 in y changes , is there a solution for that?
@@farahasma4484 I recommend using a smaller font size and increasing the scale. Otherwise, I also have this workflow which is better suited to longer timers: ruclips.net/video/ZROcJ4Bstxg/видео.html
This was a great tutorial. The problem I am running into though is that my 6:30 countdown runs fine until it gets to 1:18. When it reaches 1:18 the countdown freezes in place and then shifts down about 100 pixels. Please advise, thanks.
Thanks Jared, I suggest checking your frame rate isn't a decimal (like 23.976), try rendering your timeline to see if it's a playback issue or try changing your Renderer (in File > Project Settings) to Software Only to see if it's a GPU issue. If the problem continues, shoot me a message and I'll take a look at your project file. bit.ly/PrProContact
Very nice!! Tell me - what does 'period period' do? I see that clicking '1..' takes it to 00:01:00:00, but is there a way to use the period for other timecode short cuts? My sequence starts at 01:00:00:00, so when I click '1..' it just jumps to the end of the sequence. Do you have a tutorial about using shortcuts to go to a specific timecode? Thanks!!
Hi again. I'm going over your great video again. I'm looking forward to making some different timers! Do you have a video where you show how to use the timers in another video? Since this is still new to me, I'm not sure how I'll bring the timer into a new video as an overlay and where to place it. Mahalo for your time and help.
When it is possible to insert a "stamp" with a file name and a time stamp into a video in the AP, can the recording date be inserted in the same way (or similarly)? It's part of the metadata so maybe it should go but I can't find how to do it?
There's no built-in effect that can do this automatically, but you could batch rename your clips to match their creation date, and then use the Clip Name effect to display this.
Halp! I'm trying to do a 1 minute timer so there are 60 numbers. I want the duration of my clip to only be 3 seconds however. How do I calculate the frame rate for the Posterize Time effect?
This workflow here might be a better way to do that ruclips.net/video/ZROcJ4Bstxg/видео.html. Otherwise, the formula is Sequence Frame Rate divided by (Sequence Frame Rate multiplied by number of seconds). If your sequence is 30 frames per second, it would be 30 / (30 * 3) = 0.3333. Although Posterize Time only allows for one decimal place, so the timing probably won't be exact.
Hey, at first thanks for the interesting video and the good description. But sadly I encountered a problem. It does not work for me at the point, that i wanted to create a 10 minute countdown. But at 3:26 time stamp of your vid Premiere doesn't let me drag it further than -32768,0. Any idea why this does not work?
To get around Premiere's position limit of -32,768, just lower your font size to smaller than 100. (you'll still be able to scale up the text to any size you want)
Great content! I didn´t find this tutorial nowhere, it was useful for my project. Next time you can make a video teaching how to animate lower thirds. Thanks!
I'm having some issues with this! I set up a new sequence in 24fps, and the timer slowly moves down and gets cropped off. I've retried several times and the sequence is 100% in 24fps. Any ideas?
hey thanks for the video but i have a problem with one when i put the "posturize time" it still goes up like like there server of the timers but it just still moving up if u know what i mean
If your timer is moving it usually means either A) your sequence has a decimal frame rate or B) the gap between your keyframes does not match the number of times in your list.
Hi, this worked for my last video! Many thanks for the tutorial it is great! However, I have gone to edit it for my next video however, the timer lags when I add posterize time. Is there any way around this? I have deleted and restarted again however it does not seem to work. A reply is much appreciated!!
Thanks Ash! I have noticed that posterize time can sometimes lag in playback, but it's fine on export. Try exporting out your sequence and let me know how you go.
@@ThePremierePro Hi mate, just exported it and seems to be the same problem. It's like the rectangle used as a mask is moving about or the text is just lagging hard.
@@holtperformanceprogramming8541 It's hard to say what the problem is without seeing it. Send me a sample if you want and I'll check it out - otherwise, if it worked fine in your previous edit, just copy that and paste it in your sequence.
Wow! Amazing Video! I was wondering how I could change the length of the timer, instead of just 1 minute. For example, altering the beginning time to 1:30
Mahalo for your tutorial, Paul. When talked about frame rate. So in your example, you've created the time at 30fps. When i want to use it in one of my videos, what if the frame rates of those videos is 29.94 fps or shot at at 60fps. I take that I'll need to do some tweaking?
A'ole pilikia Darryl - if your sequence frame rate has a decimal, then I recommend you create the timer in a sequence with a whole number frame rate first (like 30 fps) and then paste it into your original sequence.
@@ThePremierePro Mahalo Paul for your quick response. So it sounds like I should round up the fbs to whatever the number is with a decimal. Now if i have something that is created at 60fps, I take it that I'll need to create a timer at 60fps as well?
An issue that pops up once in a while: When I've added the posterize time to the clip and changed the frame rate from 24 to 1 the second set of numbers sometimes makes a little jump downwards and then continue counting down from that lower position. I haven't been able to nail down why it doesn't happen all the time and what to do to fix it. :/ I'm using a 24 fps clip as my "base" because I can't create the first text layer if I don't have anything on the timeline before. Which may also be odd.
Hiya, I'm trying to make a timer that's 4min 54sec long. I can't drag the position of the list layer further up than -32768. Is there perhaps some limit to the length of the timer?
@@ThePremierePro Thank you for the reply. So there's an actual limit to the possible length, hmmm. Would learning to create a timer in AE be a better choice, in your view?
@@marcuslinder661 That's a hard question to answer without knowing more about your project and skill level. AE is a superior application when it comes to design and animation, but it's also a steep learning curve for some. If you change your font size to something smaller than Premiere's default (100 px), you can create a timer that's well over an hour long, and you can still make it as big or small as you want.
@@ThePremierePro Thanks, yet again, for the reply. I'm trying to get into both Pr and Ae but am still a bit confused about which application to use for what task since it seems I can get by using Pr for my specific needs (interval timers to use with music clips) and not have to touch Ae at all. But there's sooo many nice effects to be had if I get into Ae proper. ;)
It's at bit strange because, i following your video, and after making the Posterize Time, and set to fps, my countdown goes 1-2 pixel up, on the screen, pr. second.. How to fix that? :)
@@ThePremierePro Thank you for fast reply. I have set it to 30 fps at the beginning, as you did in the video. I can try to make a brand new project, and do it all over again, If it still fails, I will send you a new message 😉
@@ThePremierePro Now i have tried again. It still jump. Is there a way, to send you my project file, so you can fix it? I have tried with 2 different fonts also, with no better restults.
I seem to be having an issue with the posterization. When I toggle the effect off, the counter lines up with the position it should be lining up with every second (00:00:00:00, 00:00:01:00, 00:00:02:00, etc.) as it should, but when I toggle the Posterize Time effect on, it seems like it's taking the snapshot of where the counter is positioned at every frame 14 instead of every frame 0 (00:00:00:00, 00:00:00:14, 00:00:01:14, 00:00:02:14, etc.). Sequence timebase is set to 30 fps, posterize time frame rate is set to 1. My timer is 3:30 (3 minutes, 30 seconds) long and even in the middle of that sequence there doesn't seem to be any drift like I would expect if the division weren't quite even. It's more like it's behaving as though there's a half second offset in there, and from there continues posterizing once a second evenly but it looks like an elevator stuck directly in the middle between floors. Anyone have any ideas what might be going on here?
Sometimes this can be caused by a caching issue with the Posterize effect. A couple of things to try: delete your previews and restart Premiere, or export your timeline to confirm it's not just a playback issue.
@@ThatOneAdaMain If the graphic is moving down the screen and you're using a whole number frame rate, this usually points to a problem with the number of times in your list vs the length of your timer. Count the number of times in your list (especially if it starts/ends at zero) and make sure your last keyframe is at the right number of seconds.
Hi there! So, as far as I know, I've followed all these instructions to the letter to make a 10 minute timer. I've even started with the 45.5 font size you've mentioned in the comments for that. But for some reason, my timer's animation is not toggled correctly in that it moves at random rates (i.e. lagging behind then speeding up). So at 8:21:06 in my playback, the animation timer is only hitting the 5:00 mark. At that point, however, the animation seems to move in hyper speed to still reach 0:00 at the same time as my playback. Wondering if you've seen this before or have any suggestions as to this behavior?
Great video ! And It would have been perfect if you added the steps to make it into a preset!! . so we won't have to go through all those steps every time. great one thank you✅
I have a new workflow for creating timers in Premiere Pro: ruclips.net/video/ZROcJ4Bstxg/видео.html
And if I wanted to make one of 10 minutes, how do I edit it?
@@Carlos.Prensa same boat
If you're making a timer longer than 4 minutes, you will need to set the font size smaller than 100 pixels. You can still scale your timer to any size using these steps here 5:27. To calculate the best font size, divide 27300 by your number of seconds (e.g. for a 10 minute timer, 27300/600 seconds = 45.5).

@@ThePremierePro Thank you for fast reply. I have set it to 30 fps at the beginning, as you did in the video. I can try to make a brand new project, and do it all over again, If it still fails, I will send you a new message 😉
@@ThePremierePro Now i have tried again. It still jump. Is there a way, to send you my project file, so you can fix it? I have tried with 2 different fonts also, with no better restults.
@@KratterDK Sure thing - my email is in the About section.
@@ThePremierePro I have sent you a e-mail now! :)
G E N I O U S !!!
Thanks!
I'm trying it for 5:00 but it's probably too long and I can't align to the bottom edge of the second layer :( Am I doing something wrong?
For long lists, just lower the font size (you can still scale it up to whatever size you want).
Select from drop down menu "align to selection"
@@DiscGolfFinland A little late. I no longer work in Adobe Premiere. Thanks.
thank you
awesome
What are some other animations you regularly need to create? Maybe I can help you come up with a quicker way!
How do you make an animated call out in which the distance being run gradually increases?

I seem to be having an issue with the posterization. When I toggle the effect off, the counter lines up with the position it should be lining up with every second (00:00:00:00, 00:00:01:00, 00:00:02:00, etc.) as it should, but when I toggle the Posterize Time effect on, it seems like it's taking the snapshot of where the counter is positioned at every frame 14 instead of every frame 0 (00:00:00:00, 00:00:00:14, 00:00:01:14, 00:00:02:14, etc.).
Sequence timebase is set to 30 fps, posterize time frame rate is set to 1. My timer is 3:30 (3 minutes, 30 seconds) long and even in the middle of that sequence there doesn't seem to be any drift like I would expect if the division weren't quite even. It's more like it's behaving as though there's a half second offset in there, and from there continues posterizing once a second evenly but it looks like an elevator stuck directly in the middle between floors.
Anyone have any ideas what might be going on here?
Sometimes this can be caused by a caching issue with the Posterize effect. A couple of things to try: delete your previews and restart Premiere, or export your timeline to confirm it's not just a playback issue.
Quite clever.
I want to see more timers in your videos now :)
@@ThePremierePro My bomb threats will look better than ever.
thanks bro
New Sub - Good stuff
Thank you Ty!
Fantastic work, but I got a problem, my timer are moving in vertical position and I don't know how to fix it
Thanks Gabriel - what is your sequence frame rate?
@@ThePremierePro Hi I have the same problem. My sequence frame is 60 fps
@@ThatOneAdaMain If the graphic is moving down the screen and you're using a whole number frame rate, this usually points to a problem with the number of times in your list vs the length of your timer. Count the number of times in your list (especially if it starts/ends at zero) and make sure your last keyframe is at the right number of seconds.

Hi there!
So, as far as I know, I've followed all these instructions to the letter to make a 10 minute timer. I've even started with the 45.5 font size you've mentioned in the comments for that. But for some reason, my timer's animation is not toggled correctly in that it moves at random rates (i.e. lagging behind then speeding up). So at 8:21:06 in my playback, the animation timer is only hitting the 5:00 mark. At that point, however, the animation seems to move in hyper speed to still reach 0:00 at the same time as my playback. Wondering if you've seen this before or have any suggestions as to this behavior?
If you e-mail me your project file without media, I'll take a look at it (my email is in the About section).
@@ThePremierePro Thank you, but it looks like restarting my computer did the trick. Thank you also for this helpful video!
And if I wanted to make one of 10 minutes, how do I edit it?
thanks
for some reason my rectangle moves with the time? There arent any key frames making this happen but I can't figure out how to stop it?
In the Effect Controls panel, check and make sure you added the keyframes to the text layer and not the Vector Motion.

¡Muchas gracias!
Great video !
And It would have been perfect if you added the steps to make it into a preset!! . so we won't have to go through all those steps every time.
great one thank you✅
To use it as a preset, you want to save it as a Motion Graphic Template.
