Time Counter As Text
Method #
This node generates the clock time as a string value which may be rendered via a Text node. To make the timer count up or down, the Time Offset Seconds parameter may be keyframed or driven by a Continuous Modifier. This node can then be used within a Text node or to be processed by other text string nodes.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details

Initial Time (Hours Minutes Seconds) Initial time the time counter starts at.
Time Offset Seconds Offset the initial time from the current time in seconds. useful for counting up, or counting down.
Separator Change which ascii character is used to separate the different time codes.
Clamp To Zero Clamps the value at 0 so you cannot move into negative time.
Sub Second Frame Rate When showing sub-second time codes, how many time intervals should be shown.
