Last updated 12/21/2009

Value/Offset/Random Max Varies based on the chosen type and whether Random Values is selected.

Decimal Places Specifies the number of places to the right of the decimal point.

Current Time/Date Select for time and date numbers to be based on the current time and date.

Position The position of the numbers on the layer.

Display Options Specifies the use of a fill or stroke or a combination of both on the text. Fill Only fills the characters

with a color. Stroke Only strokes the edges of the characters with a color. Fill Over Stroke overlaps the fill color onto

the stroke color. Stroke Over Fill overlaps the stroke color onto the fill color.

Size Size of the characters.

Tracking Average distance between characters.

Proportional Spacing Numbers use proportional spacing instead of monospacing.

Composite On Original Text is composited on top of the original image. If Composite On Original isn’t selected, the

original image isn’t visible.

Alternatives to using the Numbers effect

Use text layers for greater control over text formatting and text animation. (See “Creating and editing text layers” on

page 341.)

Apply the Current Time Format animation preset to a text layer to show the current time in the format corresponding

to the time display setting for the project.

Colin Braley provides a tutorial and example project on his website that show how to use an expression on the Source

Text property to animate text to overcome some of the limitations of the Numbers effect.

For a similar example, see “Example: Animate text as a timecode display” on page 371.

Timecode effect

The Timecode effect creates a text overlay that displays timecode or frame number information on a layer. This effect

doesn’t modify timecode embedded from external sources, such as QuickTime.

Use text layers for greater control over text formatting and text animation. (See “Creating and editing text layers” on

page 341.)

Apply the Current Time Format animation preset to a text layer to show the current time in the format corresponding

to the time display setting for the project. (See “Example: Animate text as a timecode display” on page 371.)

This effect works with 8-bpc color.

Display Format Specifies whether timecode is displayed in the SMPTE format, in frame numbers, or in feet and frames

of 35mm or 16mm film.

Time Units Frame rate in frames per second (fps) to be used by this instance of the Timecode effect. This setting affects

only the numbers displayed by the Timecode effect; it has no influence on composition frame rate or the frame rate of

the source footage item for the layer.

Drop Frame Select Drop Frame to generate drop-frame timecode or deselect it to generate non-drop-frame timecode.

Starting Frame The frame number assigned to the first frame of the layer.

Text Position The position of the text overlay, in composition space.

Text Size The size of text, in points.
