Countdown Timer for use with Video Studio or Media Studio.

The Countdown timer was first mentioned in the Creative Cow Forum by Terry Stetler the Moderator of our Media Studio Forum.

Unfortunately the link to the timer appears to be broken and so you can download a copy from my website here:

Instructions on how to use with Video Studio:
1. First you have to copy the file to your VideoStudio vft_plug folder
(Normally c:\\Program Files/Ulead Systems/Ulead VideoStudio 9.0).
2. Open Video Studio
3. Drag a clip to the timeline
4. Click the drop down box below the Video Studio 9 logo
Then select \"Video Filter\" A new one will be in the selection of thumbnails
\"Timecode\"
5. Drag the \"Timecode\" thumbnail onto the clip on your timeline.
6. At top left of your screen the attribute option is now displayed.
There is an option to \"Customize Filter\"
In addition to the obvious choices of font, colour etc, click on the preview screen the location you wish the timer to appear.
7. After dragging it onto the clip you will not see it work on the timeline preview.
To see it in action you have to click the \"Share Tab\" and then select
\"Project playback\"

Instructions on how to use with Media Studio:
1. Copy the file to your Media Studio vft plug folder
(Normally C:\\Program Files\\Ulead Systems\\Ulead MediaStudio Pro 8.0\\vft_plug)
2. Open Media Studio
3. Drag a clip to the timeline
4. Open the Video filter Tree and you will see one named Robotiq
This will contain the Timecode filter
5. Drag the imecode?thumbnail onto your clip
6. Under the effects manager click the spanner to bring up the customised dialog box. To place the timer where you wish it to appear just click on the preview screen.
