Sequence timecode display

Postby djrappa » Wed Jan 08, 2014 7:53 am

This seems easy but I can't find a nice way to do it.

In WD I would like a digital display (same as the timecode display object) to display not the incoming SMPTE on a SMPTE link but the actual current sequence time. As the PB Sequence Timecode node seperates the time into Hours, Min, Seconds, Frames there doesnt seem to be an elegant way to make a nice display for this.

What am I missing?

Thanks
Cheers

hey .. the way i do that is to us a label as the display..
in-between the timecode node and the display output node put in a text combiner node. therefore you can put your hrs mins sec frames in order.

if you get stuck just shout..

Thanks. I was onto it with the text combiner but any tips on how to format it nicely?

For example in PB 03:45:03.22 comes out of the text combiner as 345322 or 3:45:3.00 if I use additional fields to add in the colons and period. But it would be nice to have the value always display the leading 0 if needed.

Hi,

there is a node to prepend leading zeros: Text Nodes/Leading Zeros
