Add a Countdown Timer Directly in Davinci Resolve (NO External Media or Plugins)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- 1 - Open your project in Davinci Resolve
2 - Open your effects and add "Custom +" title
3 - Right click in the text box on right hand side and choose "timecode"
4 - Style the text to your liking BEFORE MOVING ON
5 - Use "Write-on" slider to remove hours and frames (if you just want min/sec)
6 - Right click on the layer in the timeline and choose "new compound clip"
7 - Position the "new compound clip" to where you want it on screen
8 - Right click on the layer, choose "change clip speed" and check the box to reverse the clip speed (to make timer count backwards)
Voila!
Leave a like and maybe even a sub if this helped :)
Give a medal to this man that starts the tutorial without wasting 200 hours in nonsense talking.
y'know I didn't even end up using the countdown for this video I'm working on, but you were so EFFICIENT at teaching me how to do it, I was able to implement the idea and then make a decision SO FAST, that I am still super grateful because I can't visualize as well as some other people
All about efficiency and being decisive over here 😂 Glad I could help
If anyone is having the issue of the text jittering, either change the font or go to advanced controls and move the force monospaced slider all the way up. it will alter the spacing but it does stop the jittering.
Wow!!! It work 🙌 thank you so much for sharing ❤
Subscribed just because this video is so concise and without filler content, good job!
This is my favorite comment to get 😂 glad I can help without wasting any time 👍
Thank you I kept using a mp4 timer I'd found online to bring in. This was short and to the point and just what I was looking for.
MP4 timer is a solid solution I didn’t even think about tbh
a rare breed - just gets right to it.
life saver! had issues with my audio and wanted the audience to know when it would finish 🎉 thanks
Great vid! - if I wanted the timer to start at 24 hrs, how would I do this? Thanks
Curious to know why you'd want it to start at 24 hours...
If your video is 24 hours long, just do the same process 😂
If you just want the timer to show up for a few seconds... I'd probably make the thing 24 hours and try to clip out the pieces I want.
Last resort... I might just do numbers manually and change it every second. All depends on what exactly you want to accomplish
short and to the point. All I needed. A nice thumbs up your way.
I love me a good thumbs up. Glad it helped 😎
To the point, easy to follow
Straight to the point. Thank you sir. I've been at it for 2 hours...
Sheesh, glad it helped
Thank you so much!!!! I have clicked on countless other tutorials on this subject matter and yours is the only one that made sense! Thank you!!! My video now will have a countdown timer, thanks to you!!!!!
Mission accomplished 💪
Just what I was searching for. You nailed it! Great video and super concise, thank you so much! I'm gonna be using this countdown in my next video today:)
Keep up the great work! I subscribed to support your efforts.
Appreciate that a ton. If you run into any other issues along the way let me know so I can come up with more tutorials for the editing masses 😂
@@JRPCREATIVE Cool! Im totally new to DaVinci, coming from premiere pro, so im still trying to learn the basics. Have been watching some videos with the basics but dont know if you have any great tutorials for the basic animations for youtube, colorgrading. Will look for it on your channel! Looking forward to following your growth 💪🏻 keep it up mate
Just wanted to add another thanks and subscribe. This was 100x better than any other tutorial for the same feature.
Appreciate that. We trying to keep things straightforward over here.
Thank you so very much. Simple and straight forward. May the Lord bless you always.
I'm thinking about starting a fitness channel and this was the exact tutorial I needed. Thanks so much for sharing!
No problemo
So helpful! Thank you! Just for anyone else doing this.. depending on the font you choose it makes it tweak side to side..but for the verdana it didnt do that!
Great no non-sense explanation. Thanks!
We ain’t got time for nonsense around here 👌
I just found you and I want to thank you for your content, you explain it very well and it is easy to follow you 🙂 I just subscribe
Appreciate that!
Fabulous Justin. So snappy straight into it no BS!!👆👍👍👍
That's how we do
Huge thanks for this. Super simple solution that I was looking for after a lot of not so simple alternatives.
We like simple around here
I am stupidly new to da vinci resolve and coming from a project or 2 in adobe rush 😂
This was so easy I feel like I will be able to easily do this, THANK YOU!!
Honestly if you weren’t already really experienced in another editor the learning curve is probably easier
Great video. Love how you succinctly explain this. Any idea how to create a circular bar countdown timer? Thanks
Probably a few different ways to do it, and it’s probably a lot easier if you’re only counting down from like 10 instead of two full minutes… maybe I’ll see if I can put a video up on this
@@JRPCREATIVE that would be awesome!
working on my streaming channel this is a life saver thank you dude ! awesome tutorial !
Legend; love tutorials like this; straight to the point! You've got my subscription.
Glad I earned your respect 🫡
Thank you so much for this, did not know text+ had so many features!!
Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks man
🫡
Thank you for this tutorial! I was able to make a timer for a video really quick!
Glad it helped!
any idea why my timer is glitching left to right as it plays?
I've tried adjusting the write on points, but it's still hopping slightly left and right?
thanks for the video!
Ah, you have to use a font were all of the numbers are evenly sized. that kinda sucks, i wanted a 'digital clock' font, and obviously all of their 1s are slimmer than the other numbers... does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks
Perfect video. A massive help! Thank you 🙏 😊
Exactly what I was looking for my UA-cam video. No BS. Perfect.
I really can’t explain how much I love how often people say this 😂 appreciate it
Trying to do this right now.. Once I drag the text+ box in I have no option to right click and get a menu to pick timecode. Not where why that isn't working. Rocking 18.1.4
Do you not have the option at all or is it greyed out?
@@JRPCREATIVE wasn’t there at all. I closed out and re-booted resolve and it was there 🤷♂️. Problem fixed
@@TinyTrackCars That's always the best fix 😂
@@JRPCREATIVE my mic input stood working too quite often. Takes a reboot and re add it as the input and it works again 🤷♂️
This is my first time n your channel. Great video!
Have a Productive and Healthy day!
Appreciate it!
Just what I needed to know thank you
You’re welcome
Thank you! Needed this for my church!
🙌
thank you, excellent concise explanation.
Thank you for watching!
I keep trying to do this, but everytime I do, the timer is uncontrollably shaking throughout the entire video. Any tips?
Is your alignment set to left align? That’s the only solution I’m remembering off the top of my head
I had the same problem and moving the H Anchor slider to left fixed it
Thank you! I use your technique to create a countdown on one of my videos
Love to hear it 🙏
straight to the point holy, Sir you are the GOAT, thank you so much
🐐 you're welcome so much
Yes but how do u set a specific time for it to countdown from (not based on clip length)? For example, I want it to start counting down from 2 hours for only a 5-sec portion of a clip. I edit the text before doing a compound clip and it bugs out.
If it's only a five second portion I'd probably just use text and change it every second for five seconds
thank you for this !! very straight to the point and concise :)
Love to hear that. This ain’t a recipe blog, we just get to what you need to know 😂
Ty man. I almost waste my time of trying to find this way :D
When I do that my numbers shake a little bit, do you know how to stop that?
Change alignment to left align, and it shouldn't do it anymore. :)
@@lommeldesignbranding6254 Thank you for the assistance!
Right to the point is appreciated!!
Not here to waste anyone’s time 😂
legend mate - keeping it nice and simple thank you
You’re welcome 🙏
I'm amazed there isn't yet some kind of programmatic graphics facilities in video editors: one where you have e.g. a Python/Javascript script calling a drawing API to generate the frame data much like it does in e.g. a browser.
This is too complicated for me to understand but I lowkey think After Effects might have this
Short sweet and simple! Very much appreciate it!
That’s what I’m aiming for 💪🏻 glad it helped
Short and to the point, well done!
🙌
NEW SUB. Thank you for getting right to it, adding personality, etc etc etc.
Not here to waste anyone’s time 🤷🏻♂️ appreciate the sub
Awesome stuff. Exactly what I need for my next video. Thanks for making this! 😁
Glad it helped 💪🏻
Great, thanks! 👌
You're welcome!
Thank you. EXACTLY what I was looking for!
Glad you found it then 😅🤙🏻
THANKS got it in like the 30 seconds or something hahaha
heck phase 1 was all i really needed the Text+ right click timecode thing
I'll see if I can help you in 15sec next time
This video was perfect. Thank you!
“Perfect” might be an overstatement… but you’re welcome 👍
Another way is to drag the left side of the timer to the left, then it goes into the negative, and that also makes the timer count down
Love the video, helped a lot, only problem I'm having with it atm is mine seems to jitter side to side as my camera in games pans over, any way to stop that?
There’s another comment here somewhere that mentions trying to left align. See if that works.
@@JRPCREATIVE Yeah i used the anchor icon, it has to due with the type of font and the numbers being different sizes in the font, thank you!
Nice video brother! Very helpful!
Glad it helped!
Excellent thanks!
thank you for an easy explanation :) now I can make a silly little reading timer :)
That's what I'm talking about! 😂
Super helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Perfect, thank you!
You’re welcome
perfect! thanks for this buddy!
No problem!
how can i get the countdown mode of the text+ to start whenever the clip is played and not just countdown all the time?
My guess would be just cut it and move the clip to where you want it to start again? Never actually tried it.
Also curious to know what your application is and/or why you’d want to do that. I might be misunderstanding the question.
Amazing! Thank you.
Thanks did what I wanted. Shame you can't change the write on etc after changing it to a compound video
Great video man! :D Well done. Keep it up
Perfect, thanks.
You're welcome!
Beautiful and concise, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
thanks man. short and sweet
As instructional videos should be 😂 Glad it helped
@@JRPCREATIVE I beg to differ. 🤣🤣🤣 Mine are nothing like this... They are long and bitter 🙈
Gr8 tut! Straight on. Thanks!
You’ve got it 👍
why does the timecode countdown hit Zero with One second still left on the chip? I followed all your steps.
is it possible that the timer goes with a 300% of time ? im making a sport competition video, who can hold longer certain positions. so i would need a countdown which also goes up to 300% with the accelerated clip...
Great question I do not know the answer to 🤷🏻♂️
Brilliant mate. Subbed!
Appreciate you 🥲 Let me know what other tutorials may be helpful for you 😂
thank you Justin, very cool
You seem pretty cool yourself 😎
Great vid. Thanks so much, man
You've got it 👍
thank you so much :)
You’re welcome so much
great tutorial:)
Thanks. Your comment is pretty good too
That's pretty clever
Agreed
Mine doesn't have that option :(
This saved my butt LOL thank you
Saving butts is what I do 😂 glad I could help
amazing thank you!
great tutorial. thanks
You’re welcome
Thank you ❤
Thank you so much!
You’re welcome so much
Is it possible to stop the timer at 1 instead of letting it go to 0?
I reckon you could just trim the end of it..
Haha that was smart! Gonna use this trick on my next video
Thank you lad.
Ya welcome 👍
Thanks man!
Thanks for watching
Just did this... simply to count seconds forward... and my type is jittering around frame by frame WTF lol. But... bug? No other keyframes set. 18.6. Madness. EDIT: because the font is not fixed width. So, the unseen numbers using the write on trick made the position of the visible ones move. Under advanced controls, you can do 'forced monospace" set to 1... but, probably kinda ugly.
Thanks :)
you need to make tons mor videos your awesome
I appreciate that. Guess it’s time for me to start coming up with more ideas 😂
my right click wont work on it
This is fantastic! Perfectly presented and concise. Love it!
Concise is the name of the game 💪
Hi, how can make timer but not 1:35:12 i want only minutes like this: 95:12
in the Inspector box at the very bottom is a Write On element. Slide the 2 balls in and it will delete characters from the Left and Right.
thanks pal
good one
GOAT
I agree
Love it
Why thank you
