timecode overlay, customizable

a repositionable timecode overlay, with option to edit those number's colors, size.

Sometimes I need to distribute video as an evaluation version, and being able to position timecode at will would be desirable.

I added support for frame number in MLT on Oct 13 (beyond latest release). So, it would not be hard to include that. Please file a bug to keep it on our todo list.

In 0.8 you will be able to select between timecode (hh:mm:ss:ff) and frame count overlay in the render dialog.

i do see the overlay for having a counter go upwards BUT i'd really like an option to apply a counter going upwards BUT only for a portion of my video, to show how long a particular scene was going for. Example, in my videos I have an intro and then my main content starts so I would like the counter to start then and NOT at the beginning of the video and I'd like to be able to stop the counter at a certain part in the video which is NOT the end of the video because I have an outro as well. Can anyone help me figure this out?

The "Dynamic Text" effect allows you to overlay a timecode - which counts up relative to the start of the clip or timeline it is applied to. It can be found under "Add Effects->Misc->Dynamic Text".
