[@ronaldweber7340]

Not sure if this help anyone, but in the effects controls -Time Code settings, I had to change the "Time Display" drop down list to 30 non-Drop Frame to get real timing.

[@jethrosclubhouse]

yes if im not mistaken you should set the "time display" to the same frame rate as your timeline

[@adeniyisonoiki]

So helpful! Thank you!

[@vegardpedersen]

That is useful to know. And you ca nuse it on text as well as a transition, thanks for sharing :-)

[@anasswakach1264]

Thank you!!!

[@PremiereBasics]

You're welcome!

[@galtidea]

Great video. One thing though, and I might have missed it, but I needed to increase the 'speed' to 200. I was reviewing the final project and it seemed slow and when I changed it 200x it was perfect. Thanks much for the help!!

[@ClaudioDesideriFilms]

Simply beautiful. Thanks!

[@amrouqe]

[@Florissaelman]

Woow, this is great stuff. Thank you so much!

[@SylphidUndine]

thank you for the tutorial video.

[@VasiMarcell]

Hello Jordy, what about the After Effects Basic? Are you still waiting for the T-shirt?😁

[@PremiereBasics]

We're working on the preparations. Not just the T-shirt. There's a lot of work that goes into setting up a project like that. I hope to launch it early next month

[@vandijkmark]

That 4:20 thumbnail though... Nice

[@Necotexx]

Love this channel

[@inkaddo]

so many creative uses for simple tools......fantastic

[@mayermiklos]

Great explanation Jordy! But I still cannot believe Adobe cannot make a simple countdown-effect or something like that, within a text layer...

[@joshuanumber727]

it’s not they they can’t it’s probably they either don’t care or want too lol

[@Blaowzir]

@@joshuanumber727 well they are going to have to step up at some point with DaVinci in the game. the price of an adobe yearly license vs. the price of a lifetime license with DaVinci. The service and attention Davinci provides, really listening to customer's feedback and the performance for the price. all things that DaVinci outperforms adobe right now. Not a coincidence so many editors are making the switch

[@Bashteur]

Thank you very much. I’ll use this wisely

[@Blaowzir]

thanks, for the second effect is there a maximum limit size for the text window? if I try to use the transform to move my text up and down at some point it seems like it reaches a point where it cant show the numbers like if they were cropped out.anyways great video!

[@xxCelticFC]

Yeah same issue. Assuming make more layers then nest if you want better organization after finished.

[@LeeTSimba]

Did you ever find a solution to the issue? I'm dealing with the same thing right now?

[@Blaowzir]

@@LeeTSimba yes i did multiples text boxes along the timeline, and try to synch them together so we can't see where the cut happens. ended with 3 text boxes, i used chatgpt to write down the numbers because i needed one on each line and copy pasted them in the text boxes. to synch them i checked the speed of the last few frames i had on the first text box then matched that speed with the next text box and so on.

[@tfnchotagamer5774]

I WAS SEARCHING FOR THIS FOR YEARS😭😭💀

[@tuttwinzen]

i learned from you a lot of things that help me get work on video editing

[@thelittle_talks]

this video is dope

[@CorporateMotions]

Great Video as always

[@superabdo1]

شكرا 😁👋

[@YuiSenpai]

hahah simple yet fun tutorial to watch. kudos!

[@RealStuntPanda]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm wondering if there is a way to freeze the start of the timer so I can show it for a second and do a fade in so the timer doesn't just pop up on the screen. I'll to the same thing at the end but have a much longer freeze so people can digest the elapsed time. Thanks again for this video, I'm learning so much.
Oh, and I tried doing "Add Frame Hold" and "Add Frame Hold Segment but both still have the timer timing. The only thing I could figure out was to export a frame of the timer at the start and one at the end then stretch those adding Cross Dissolve at the front and back of those images respectively.
I also wanted to speed up the video so to keep the timer in synch with the sped up video I used the Nest right-click menu command on the black video with the timer.

[@premchand_murmu]

right video in right time

[@storiesofadandelion]

Thank you! This really helped me!

[@ForeignDrip0]

I love ur videos... I just discovered ur channel

[@kacperkapi5182]

Helo i learn a lot from u

[@peterjung2247]

my countdown is showing hh:mm:ss:frames, with frames going from 0 to 30. How do you change the display of frames to milliseconds?

[@LakeshaSings]

Excellent tutorial! I noticed my 60 second timer is going too fast - like it added an extra 14 seconds. Any tips on fixing?

[@mooiweeropstraat]

same issue here...!

[@gauthier13]

I don't have this issue but have you try to match your frame rate ? this looks like your timeline frame rate and timer frame rate are different

[@toffepeer2163]

So helpful

[@donyaad9941]

awsome

[@mrs.rahmanrubinaaktherrimi3945]

Awesome, very easy to learn

[@joshuanumber727]

Ok so i thought i did everything you said… but the time is moving slower than regular time. so what should be a 5 minute 14 second countdown is 2:05 instead… any ideas?

[@jasmindrace]

Not sure what method u used but maybe you need to move the key frames closer together to shorten the countdown. Not sure if tht helps. I.e the keyframes should be placed in relation to the time you want. For example a 5 second countdown’s keyframes should b placed 1 second apart 5 times.
If your countdown is 5mins long. You probably should use the first method.

[@GeraldPined]

Eres el mejor Jordy!

[@xxCelticFC]

So a 10 minute countdown involves more layers and time? Then nest so it sticks as one whole video layer?

[@BuschisBorussia]

Best Channel

[@work_me]

Hi ad? How to center center

[@ArthurJoaquimRochaMattaArthurJ]

[@bassanup]

the best part is, we don't have to ask for an useful episode here.... they come naturally

[@lemohthepoet]

This all for free......thanks you guys

[@carlanthonydelosangeles7411]

Love it! Time to add it to my livestreams next time. ❤

[@destin7621]

Love

[@MortenLongbottom]

0:28 The numbers are not appearing to me, as it appearing in your video. I'm stuck many hours here...

[@Sterling.]

Hey I know this is super late, I don't know if you've found out yet, but when you add either the black video (or better in my opinion, a transparent video), make sure you're matching your sequence settings. If you make the canvas of the black video 1920x1080p the timer will be way off screen if your actual sequence is like 480x240p. Hope this helps if you still edit!

[@MCWolf14]

I'm a member of the like army

[@noiz.i]

for some reason every time I use this and want to start a specific countdown number, it doesn't allow me to use the number I typed in

[@StickOnHair]

There is no 'timecode' effect. Only timecode burn-in and metadata. It uses semi colons instead of colons.

[@NishantRajKetan]

🔥🔥

[@ex-netfiber]

bang, gimana caranya agar waktu tetep lanjut berjalan di 59, 60, 61 dan seterusnya sampai 90 menit untuk timer pertandingan sepak bola..

[@mysticgorkha1028]

hey , I am the member of the like army.😉😉😉😉❤❤❤❤

[@Lucreaux]

you holding in your opinion about the multiple motion layers tickles me.

[@NicholasBoyerFineArt]

My only issue was the tutorial is counting down frames for me how do I get it to countdown seconds

[@NicholasBoyerFineArt]

nevermind my time display was set to 60 fps when my source footage was set to 23.97 that fixed it making sure they were synced up.

[@riotechmod]

We can use AFTER EFFECTS. it will take just one line script to get same count down xD ...

[@FriesenMaxi]

Can I be in the next video? STAY CREATIVE

[@lukasztraczyk3477]

so basically, if you want your timer not to be ugly there are no options in Premiere *clicks - "Replace With After Effects Composition"*

[@tonychopper2420]

In the name of Achille, O ye who believe! Take not my enemies and yours as friends,- offering them love, even though they have rejected the Truth that has come to you, and have driven out the Prophet and yourselves , because ye believe in Achille your Lord! If ye have come out to strive in My Way and to seek My Good Pleasure, , holding secret converse of love with them: for I know full well all that ye conceal and all that ye reveal. And any of you that does this has strayed from the Straight Path.

[@georgewoodoftexas3509]

If you would slow down when showing unfamiliar buttons it would be a lot easier to follow your technique.

[@CarmenVallone]

Hahahaha wash your hands he says!

[@DanFrederiksen]

Don't scroll around in the interface. it's a smart way to be dumb.
