Hi everyone!

I'm kinda new and I just figured out a way to add frame timecode in Adobe Premiere. Thought I'd post for those interested. FYI, this is using Adobe Premiere Pro 2, though I don't see why there would be much different in other versions.

Effects panel > Video Effects > Video > drag the Timecode effect onto your video file.

You can change the settings in the Effect Controls panel to suit your video. Most important is to change the "Format" to frames.

Tweak and export as desired.

Hope that helps someone

This is what I use:

headsUpDisplay ?-section 8 ?-block 0 ?-blockSize "medium" ?-dfs "large" ?-command "currentTime -q" ?-atr ?HUDFrameCount;


You need to have one object in your scene keyframed and animated for it to update correctly keep in mind.

Oliveuk means: Playblasting in 3dsmax is called: Make Preview. It can be found here: Animation > Make Preview. There you can choose under "Display in Preview" for "Frame Numbers"

But, if you really insist to have Frame Numbers in the final render, I wrote a script for that option: http://www.3dhype.com/scripts/Framenummers.zip

When you run this script, it will be placed in Render Effects.

someone who knows how to render the frame count in MAX??? i know how to get it done in the viewport but rendering i cannot find the option.. or maybe i have the option when i export my video and compress it in adobe premiere??   this is the result with frame count that i would like to get..

For Blender versions before 2.46, you can add a sequence plugin in the sequence editor called, "framestamp". You'll find it, with others, at this site:
http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~mein/blender/plugins/
Select the strip that is your rendered movie, then add the plugin. Once you put the plugin strip where you want it on the time line hit "n" to select the options you want.
In the current version, Blender 2.48, there are controls for frame stamping in the Render Buttons on the right side next to the Format tab. Just click on the Stamp tab and enable.

Thanks Mattress for the handy buttons!

I have already packed my other computer for my big move So I can't check this out but I found this link that shows a way to use max's video post to add a image filter event: http://www.effectware.com/eng/download/ … ounter.htm If somebody had time let me know how it works out, I wont be able to check for a few days.

Werd!

For Blender, there will be a stamp option in the next version, with  frames (of course), but also file, commentary, camera, date ... Use the version in development.
