headoned Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 It might be possible in after effects ( I dont think you could do anything like that in Sony Vegas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsabre Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 don't think you could class either After Effects or Vegas as simple or cheap. Possibly the author of the utility prog in this threadhttp://www.blue-room.org.uk/index.php?showtopic=54200 could help you out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.k.roberts Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 The 'domestic' version of Vegas is very cheap (and available as for a period as a free 'try-out'). It may not be the most elegant solution, but it will do what you want. Use the 'Media Generator' tool to generate the appropriate length of media, then overlay it with 'burnt-in' time-code using the 'Video FX' tab. Then render the result down to a single track. Right click on the newly created media in the time-line and select the 'reverse' option. Use the titling tool to add the cue text. Slap on your music and use the bundled DVD software to burn your disc. Viola! As I say, not elegant, but potentially free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepytom Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I would be happy to knock these up for you in after effect complete with your own custom graphics. It won't take long and could be styled however you like. Send me a PM or email if your interested. cheerstom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 The 'domestic' version of Vegas is very cheap (and available as for a period as a free 'try-out').Thanks. I don't mind paying what looks like £50 if it'll reliably do what I want. I would be happy to knock these up for you in after effect complete with your own custom graphics.Thanks for the offer. I'm really looking for something that will let me do this myself, and probably more importantly, change things at short notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepytom Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Hi Brian I found this old clock leader project knocking about whilst I was doing something else so I thought I'd upload it for you anyway as it might save you some time (or not, who knows!) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fw433exviuqq2za/MUv7qHtc5M/clock_leader.mov.zip its a count down 30sec leader like what they use on TV (though there is no audio on this) - adding your own text and or cropping out the bits you need should be very easy in vegas movie studio or whatever. I hope this helps. cheerstom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olie Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 If you need to change things at the last minute then you can do this with Screen Monkey live. It will allow you to create any type of clock in any format as well as play an audio track along side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
