Re: Generating countdown with timecode

Hi Duane,

The Timecode generator is incapable of generating numbers in reverse, only forward. I suggest using the Numbers option instead, as this allows for a countdown style effect.

And here's how to set it up:

• create a title track
• select the face of the title track
• select the generator tab in the controls window
• set the generator type to numbers
• go to the start of the timeline
• set the value that you want the countdown to start with
• set the interpolation to linear
• go to the end of the timeline
• set the value for the end number of the countdown

Alternately, you can stick with the Timecode option, render the clip and the import the clip and reverse the timing. Remember to set the keyframe interpolation to linear and not decelerate.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Peter.
