Timer Speed

Suggestion
1

I’m making a video and I want the timer to be in time lapse along with the video. Can you make that a feature?

You can create the timer animation first and export it as its own file preferably using one of the alpha presets in Export. Then bring that in as a video clip to be included in your main time lapse project. In your time lapse project change the speed of the main video and the clip of the timer animation. After that, export those as one video.

I have to have a video that the timer filter can go on. I can’t just have the timer itself.

Yes, you can. You didn’t understand my post. “Alpha channel” means a transparent background. You can export a video that has a transparent background which you can then bring in to overlay on any video.
