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).

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.

@ThePremierePro 2 жыл бұрын

This workflow here might be a better way to do that kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLh_lq1lp9nYqJs.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.

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?

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?

@ThePremierePro 2 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

Hi Andrew, technically this is possible - although it will require a very long list of times, especially for milliseconds. If your timer is moving up or down screen, that's usually an indication that either the sequence has a frame rate with a decimal or the time between keyframes does not match the timer duration.

Thanks! It could be you're on an earlier version of Premiere Pro.

click on effect controls, and add rectangle mask (rentangle shale under text) to that text with counter, position it and thats all.

And if I wanted to make one of 10 minutes, how do I edit it?

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 3 жыл бұрын

For long lists, I recommend lowering the font size - that will allow you to animate position within the 32,768 px limit.

@@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. ;)
