FYI: Instead of copying and repeating the frame you want to extend, you can right click and 'Add Frame Hold', and then drag to your desired length. Nice vid!
Edit: Nevermind, they got rid of this too. So, fair warning, the latest version of Premiere doesn't have the Title option in the same place as the video as its being retired. Instead you go File -> New -> Legacy Title to create one.
Hey, nice video. However, do you have another solution that lets you change the font? ty in advance

i AM STUCK at 2:59 when importing back the original sequence and then put over the TIMER sequence - My timer clip is not showing the frames ....don't know why
Since the Title feature is gone in the newer versions of Premiere, I've found that creating a transparent video works just as well. File > New > Transparent Video, and make sure it's set to the same size as your frame.
You can just grab the text tool and click on the preview window to make a new text box, then you can drag this effect onto that layer and delete the text box. Easy peasy!
Thank you for you kind words! I'm very happy to help, this was something I needed for a personal project so I had to think a little outside the box :P Completely understood with the PayPal thing, you could also use the 'join' button on my channel that helps support me directly on UA-cam as an alternative to paypal(although it is recurring so keep that in mind.).
Great vid! My Adobe Premiere looks slightly different. I didn't have the title option like in the video. SO instead what I did to make it work was: Create a new text with the Type Tool but don't type anything. You just want the pink line on the timeline. Follow the instructions of the video by adding Timecode, changing option to frames, uncheck field symbol, change from media to clip. Drag your pink line to last as long as you want the counter to go. Right click and click "Nest...". It will now go from Pink to Green and you're done. Now all I did was speed the nest up and move it wherever I want to and just like that I had created a counter from 0 to 13000 that lasted for 11 seconds to put wherever I wanted to in my video. EDIT: You can't edit the font but you can get creative with other tricks. I copy pasted the nest so I had two, ultra-keyed one nest to turn the text black, move it slightly so it looks like the white text has a shadow, plopped a VHS effect onto both nests and it looked a little bit better. :)
Great tutorial, just one question, how can I add the title in Premiere Pro CC, it is not listed in the layer option in the version I have, or how am I able to convert the title to a video, because when I insert text, I am unable to change the speed duration??? Thanks in advance
Yeah I don't have AE installed on this pc (new install) at the moment and thought, surely Premiere can do this too. And I found your video, keywords: countdown timer premiere pro, even though I use CC, old habits die hard I guess. Worked fine for my 1000subs vid last week, which I had to make in an hour more or less, so I had to have a quick fix so to speak. Alsoeda used that frame hold I mentioned, making it a bit less "dirty"😄 So thanks mate!
What makes this method better than just creating text graphics with the numbers instead? You would be able to change the font of text graphics, and do more things like feathering etc. You wouldn't even need to copy and paste a bunch of frames, just lengthen and shorten as necessary.
I am having the same issue, I believe I am following every step, many many tries and the timer always resets after slicing it so i cant have the clock stop anytime.
@@nichodameus The timecode generator needs one CONTINUOUS layer over your designated area in order to keep running continually. Instead of placing the timecode filter on the spliced clip itself, 1. Create an adjustment layer or a transparent video layer and place it somewhere above your spliced clips. 2. Stretch it to cover the duration you want the timer to run. 3. Apply the timecode filter to the adjustment layer or transparent video layer and set the controls to CLIP. This will generate timecode for the adjustment layer or transparent video layer. IF your sequence is set to the same frame rate as the clip, you will have an accurate timer! I hope this helps
@@Scoby thank you for the quick reply. I found my mistake, i had to drag the timeline copy onto my original timeline. I was dragging the 'title' onto the original timeline and it appeared pink instead of green. Thank you anyways
Great stuff but for my project it actually works quicker to simply write text from 0 to 100 manually. This video probably works best if you need to count up fast but I just need to increase the number when I get to my markers. To bad Premiere doesn't have an effect counter, instead of counting and playing around with the frames.
When you're so damn LEET you land on 13:37 by accident. Nice video. Unfortunately it's not quite what I'm looking for. I'm editing a video of a 3-way crate battle of the new Victory crate in RL. All of this would work for keeping score of our items, but changing the font is a must since our spinning crates will be inside a slot machine and the counter needs to look digital. I guess I'll just have to do it manually like when I counted each time we said "I'm drunk" in my Drunken League series. That's a bummer because it's a shit ton of work. Anyway, none of that is your fault of course. I just wanted to compliment your video, but I ended up word vomiting all over it. Whoops. GG
Yeah I totally get it the lack of text change can be a deal breaker! I'll look into it more and see if it's possible, if it is this would be a great option for you :)
Scoby that would be nice, but don't trouble yourself too much. I finished the video the hard way lol. It turned out nice but it definitely would have been easier with this method.
can you tell me how to add a date or year timeline for example i have a map where i show the american civil war every year,and at the bottom the years are changing every single second
Thanks but holy sh***.. you would think there would be an easier way ? its a very basic things and many videos have it, why isnt it somply an effect ??

I hope you live a long and happy life
I don't see it there either.
What a straightforward tutorial. I'm new to Adobe premiere and I was able to follow along without even pausing.
Glad I could help :)
Hi, I tried this and whenever I cut the frame to desired number *2015-2019* it restarts to 0 again. How can I fix this? Thank you.
You need to nest the timeline as I show in the video

Yes title is no longer standard in PP due to the newer version, it can be found in file->new->Legacy title
TO CHANGE COLOUR DROP "TINT EFFECT"
OMG, thank you! I was getting frustrated not being able to figure that out!!!!!
Use "change to color" effect
Thanks! I was looking for this to further enhance the countdown
Great tutorial, just one question, how can I add the title in Premiere Pro CC, it is not listed in the layer option in the version I have, or how am I able to convert the title to a video, because when I insert text, I am unable to change the speed duration??? Thanks in advance
Ahh a title is removed from the basic of cc now. You need to go to file > add > legacy title .
Video still helping people 2023, ty!
Thanks . It was a good training and I used it.
Glad to be able to help :)
I think, to keep the timer on a certain frame, you could also add a "hold frame" and just extend the clip.
Also a good suggestion, this whole method is a "dirty one" so any way you wanna use it yourself is an improvement :)
Yeah I don't have AE installed on this pc (new install) at the moment and thought, surely Premiere can do this too.

Hi, I do not have the NEW TITLE option, do you know the cause?
Go to file then new then legacy title
File>new>legacy title
i can to change the font?
Great tip. Thanks!
Happy to help Kevin!
is it possible to change the font?
Yes
Thanks so much I really needed this for my sub speciall but i couldnt get AE
Happy I could help :)
! If after cutting the number drops to zero, it is essential to go to control effect and put offset to the desired number !
You can also just nest the scene, like I mention in the video, it will keep it to whatever you need. But this can be useful for very large numbers
What makes this method better than just creating text graphics with the numbers instead? You would be able to change the font of text graphics, and do more things like feathering etc. You wouldn't even need to copy and paste a bunch of frames, just lengthen and shorten as necessary.
how to do it?
Hello, can anyone help.
Whenever I am using cut (slicer) the timer again starts with 0 in the next frame and I am unable to hold the timer
As mentioned you first need to meet the timer
I am having the same issue, I believe I am following every step, many many tries and the timer always resets after slicing it so i cant have the clock stop anytime.

bro i need a countdown from 4mil :(
i am having a problem, when i use the cut tool, the timer resets to 0. Any idea why ?
Beacuse you did not best the item. I show this step in the video :)

i was search about 5 day this kind of video!!!! thanks a lot !!!!! its donee
Glad to be able to help! I was like you also, I made this method myself because no one had anything else xD
4:40 thanks man this helped me on filmora, i was trying to paste but ididnt know i had to lock it.
Thank youuuuuu! That was so helpful!
Glad to hear it :)
thanks bro, my only question. Is there a way to add a stroke to the timer? good guide
in clip speed i cant edit the speed why
soz if this is late, but nest it afterwards :)
Its crazy. In AE this makes easy.
Yup, if you can use AE, this is not the most efficient thing, but when you don't have AE it's better than nothing
When I click new item I don't get title. Any ideas?
It's now file>new>legacy title in new versions of premiere
when i cut the time code it automatically reset to 0 and doesn't work :(
You didn't add it to a nested sequence first, watch the video again you didn't follow correctly
@@Scoby yea right , thank you very much
perfect solution. Thanks a lot!
Thanks! Happy to help :)
what if i want to count pullups or pushups? is it the same? i tried to do it but couldn't. any help?
When I add the time code effect to the title it just won't appear the timer, the screen is still black I don't know why
Can you count with decimals? like I'm keeping score for a challenge video and I get half a point, how would I pull this off?
Would be nice with one where you just set values in the animated timeline.
btw you can change the duration of a frame. Don't need to make many copies.
Imma have to use this! clever!
Thank you so much its help a lot nowadays
Tip for the audience. hit the R for the Speed tool then extend the sequence so you don't need to copy and paste.
Thank you❤️
Happy birthday to :)
Hello. How can I change the clock font?
i cannot change the speed of the countdown anyone knows where the problem is?
no worries you have to nest it then it is available
@@kys7615 Omg!!! I spent 3 hours to figure out why
thank you so much for this! :D

Can't figure out how to add title
everytime i cut it the countdown reset to 0. help?

how can I cange the font? help me plsss
I have not found a way to change the font

really good video!!!!!!!!!!!!

can you tell me how to add a date or year timeline for example i have a map where i show the american civil war every year,and at the bottom the years are changing every single second
Follow this exactly and then just skip forward to the year you wish to start at :)
ok
Whenever I decrease the opacity the gradient box the text's opacity also decreases. How can i fix this please? thank you.
I'm not sure what you're asking here. Could you explain in more detail?
Be sure that you are decreasing the opacity in the TIME CODE FILTER CONTROLS and not the EFFECT CONTROLS tab
Awesome! Any changes in the last year or do you still do about the same thing?
It should be about the same. I have not looked into doing it again since if I'm honest!
I appreciate you thank you so much
how do i change the title color
holy shit this will save me a lot of time
:p I love the method and when I created it I had to share for this exact reason! I'm still gonna find a way to change the timecode font though!!
Easily! Thank you
Happy to help
Brilliant tip, thank you!
Happy to help! :D
could you replace the numbers on teh timer with words?
Sadly not with this method
Why i dont have title option?
File -> New - > Legacy title, it has been removed in the latest versions
Why is it then when I cut the title sequence, the counter resets to zero? Someone help! ):
Did you add the timer to its own sequence like I showed in the video?
Scoby Hmm i followed exactly all the steps though. But i realised if i nest the title sequence, it’ll work. :)
Yes I showed this in the video, but glad its working :)
i'm now having the same problem here, where to change the nest setting? thanks
Just right click and nest the clip, just like I show in the video
i'm liking for 1337
:D
thank you
very nice good work
Hi! Is it possible to edit the font/colour of the numbers?
The colour could be changed with an overlay/colour effect, but as mentioned in the video sadly the font cannot change
Good tutorial bro
Thanks man :)
Thanks but holy sh***.. you would think there would be an easier way ? its a very basic things and many videos have it, why isnt it somply an effect ??
This effect is more something you would do in After Effect (its much easier there). But yeah I understand your point :P
BUT WHY THE HECK WHEN IM CUTTING THE FRAME NUMBER BECOME ZERO AGAIN? uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Fire 🔥
Thanks man :)
This is so inefficient
It's not the most effective method, but if you don't have AE available it is a good alternative I feel!
