====== Analogue Clock ======

The analogue clock effect prints an analogue clock on the video image. The clock runs in realtime when the video runs.
The clock can count up or down. A starttime can be set, where the clock starts running and a stop time where the clock stops.
The accuracy of the start and stop time is up to 1 millisecond.



===== Installation =====

The analogue clock effect is included in the [[ClockDisplay RTFxV2|ClockDisplay RTFxV2]]-plugin.
You can find the latest version [[ClockDisplay RTFxV2|here]].

===== Parameters =====


==== Position/Size ====

  Determines the X- and Y-Position of the clock and the size.

==== Start Time ====
  Normally the clock starts at the beginning of each clip with the time 00:00:00. 
  With the Start Time sliders the starttime of the clock can be changed to any value of the day.
 
  There are sliders for 
  * hour - 0 to 23
  * minute - 0 to 59 
  * seconds - 0 to 59

==== Stop Time ====
  With the Stop Time sliders a stop time for the clock can be set.
  
  There are sliders for 
  * hour - 0 to 23
  * minute - 0 to 59 
  * seconds - 0 to 59

  The clock stops exactly at the specified time.
  If the clock runs forward the stop time has to be higher than the start time. 
  Otherwise the clock will not start running.
  If the clock runs backwards the stop time has to be lower than the start time. 
  Otherwise the clock will not start running.

==== Time Parameters ====
  * Count Down
  When this check box is set, the clock runs backwards from start time down to 0 or to the Stop Time.

  * Speed Factor
  this slider allows to accelerate or slow down the clock. 
  Positive values are multiplied - i.e 10 = 10 times normal speed
  Negative values are divided - i.e. -10 = 1/10th of normal speed

  * Time base
  defines if the displayed time is based on the elapsed time from the start of the clip 
  the effect is attached to or   is based on the time from the start of the movie.
  Be careful when using this parameter. 
  When the clip with the clock effect is moved on the timeline and the time base is set 
  to "MOVIE" the time displayed by the clock changes according to the position on the timeline. 
  This is due to the fact that the time displayed by the clock is derived from the timecode 
  of the frame on the timeline.

==== Colors ====
Determines the foreground or background colors of the clock. The colors are in RGB values. They can be set via via the color selection tool or the eyedropper tool.
