Try changing your conic gradient to:

Thanks, @elusien. I just tried it. Very Jazzy!

@MusicalBox

I finally finished my little tutorial

Brilliant. Very well explained. I missed Kamigeek’s thread last year - too busy for various reasons. It is amazing though how a filter designed for one purpose can be redefined to suit another one.

[MusicalBox]

Thank you @jonray !

@jonray

I watched it at 2x speed

Oh! Then you probably missed all the little backward satanic messages I imbedded on the audio track

@jonray

PS Only one point - you didn’t mention that the font should be monospaced to prevent the text jumping

You’re absolutely right.
But since we covered that subject in the thread, I don’t think I’ll re-do the tutorial

Very true. And @Kamigeek was particularly good at finding these hidden gems.

@musicalbox, I was also thinking of this previous thread that involved the 360° equirectangular filter too. Might be useful for Forum members who missed it:

How-To Challenge: Animated concentric circles

As a follow-up to this @jonray post, I’d like to propose this other challenge to anyone interested. I guess it’s a two part challenge in fact. First part is to create these white animated concentric circles on a black background. I only used Shotcut to create them. No external software. Second part: After exporting the animation, overlay the resulting clip on any background and change the color of the circles. The circles must stay opaque. Alternate the colors. One of the colors m…

Don’t blame you - it would be a lot of work.

Voici mon fichier .mlt
J’ai remplacé l’image du Père Noël par un clip couleur gris sur V1.
A noter les différences par rapport au tutoriel de @MusicalBox
J’ai utilisé le filtre 360: Equirectangular to rectilinear au lieu de 360: Equirectangular to Stereographic. (je n’ai pas celui-là, ou alors sous un autre nom)
J’ai utilisé le paramètre “Délai de départ” du filtre “Timer”, je n’ai donc pas besoin du clip “transparent” avec un “texte simple” au début de V2
J’ai ajouté un filtre opacité pour l’apparition du chronomètre.
(Supprimez l’extension .txt pour ouvrir le fichier avec Shotcut)

Here’s my .mlt file
I replaced the image of Santa Claus with a gray color clip on V1.
Note the differences compared to the tutorial of @MusicalBox
I used the 360: Equirectangular to rectilinear filter instead of 360: Equirectangular to Stereographic. (I don’t have that one, or under another name)
I used the “Start Delay” setting of the “Timer” filter, so I don’t need the “transparent” clip with “plain text” at the beginning of V2
I added an opacity filter for the appearance of the stopwatch.

@Namna

J’ai utilisé le paramètre “Délai de départ” du filtre “Timer”

Punaise! Et c’était sous mes yeux. J’utilise rarement le filtre Timer et je n’ai jamais vraiment remarqué Start Delay.
Merci pour l’info @Namna

Darn! And it was right under my nose. I rarely use the Timer filter and never really noticed Start Delay.
Thanks for the info @Namna

Un autre détail qui aurait pu être utile dans le tuto est que dans certains cas le filtre Unpremultiply Alpha permet réduire, voire éliminer, les débordements sombres autour du cercle.

Another detail that could have been useful in the tutorial is that in some cases the Unpremultiply Alpha filter can reduce, or even eliminate, dark spillover around the circle.

Cool tip! Thanks.

On peut aussi utiliser le filtre “Masque forme simple” à la place de “Crop Rectangle” pour tracer la ligne horizontale.
Le paramètre “Progressivité” permet d’effacer les défauts du contour.
(Voir ma vidéo du post 2. J’ai remplacé par Crop: rectangle car mon filtre “Masque simple” V20 n’est pas reconnu par les nouvelles versions)

You can also use the “Simple Shape Mask” filter instead of “Crop Rectangle” to draw the horizontal line.
The “Smoothness” setting allows you to erase the defects of the outline.
(See my video in post 2. I replaced it with Crop: rectangle because my “Simple Mask” V20 filter is not recognized by the new versions)

I also tried it with the SPR filter. Works, too.

J’ai aussi essayé avec le filtre SPR. Ça marche aussi.

Brilliant!

Curious to see if @jonray’s admirer, Mr Thumbdown, will honor this unlisted video with his indelible fingerprint.

I think we all have the same fan…

He’s a busy kid then

…More like nothing better to do

Very sad and not very nice.
