Timer for timelapse video?

@MusicalBox beat me to most of this… Create a timer of your font/color/size preference.

My approach is a bit different though.
No need for multiple tracks for the timer video.

Timer project

  1. Determine length of clip to be sped up.
  2. Set Video Mode to exact FPS of the source clip to be sped up.
  3. V1: Transparent clip set to exact length of clip to be sped up.
  4. Export, select VP9 (with alpha channel) [Creates a transparent video clip]

Main Project

  1. V1: Source clip
  2. V2: Timer clip
  3. Adjust both clips at the same speed.

1.0x Speed - 2 second mark of actual video

2.5x Speed - 2 second mark of actual video
