Adding a timer to my track and field videos

[teocuitlatl]

I am planning to make a video of track events--100 meter dash, etc. The original files are all mpegs and I know how to link them and put in title boards and so forth to get a dvd playable on television with menus, etc. I am using Video Studio 8.

One of the disadvantages of getting out of the mpeg/personal computer environment is the loss of the timer in the viewer playing the mpeg--e.g. you can see exactly that this or that 400 meter run just came in at 50.6 seconds...

Is there a way to add an overlay track which would be a digital stop watch? is there an mpeg on line somewhere that can be downloaded and added as an overlay?

Or does someone have a better idea of having a stop watch show up in mpegs that have been converted into dvd ntsc "TV" playable format?

Thnks.

there is video filter named Timecode that will do that.

You can download it somewhere, do a search on this forum for timecode
You will have to apply it separately on each clip though...
