12.08.2018ofxclock.ofx.bundle.zip 0.2 VEGAS Pro, Magix Video Prox X with OFX, Resolve Windows 10-64bit 8, 16, 32-bit new 16 and 32-bit colour bit depth support

Installation

Download the file. Open the ZIP-Archive and copy expand or copy the complete folder OFXClock.ofx.bundle into the folder „C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins“.

Usage

The clock effect can be used a event effect and media generator.

Event effect

You can apply the clock to an event on the timeline. If you want to cover more than one events with the running clock it is best to cerate an empty event in a track aboove the clips and add the effect to this empty event.

In the VEGAS effect list select the folder OFX-HLinke. In this folder you can find the effect: OFX-Clock.

Select the effect and apply it to an event.

The parameters are explained in the next chapter.

Mediagenerator

Open the media generator tab. Select the folder OFX-HLinke and in this folder the media generator: OFX-Clock. You can move the Mediagenerator to an empty track and extent the event to the length you need.

After moving the medai generator to the track the media generator parameter list opens. The clock parameters are explained in the following chapter. For a media generator it is important to update the Duration (see parameter marked in red at the top of the parameter list). The standard value is 10 seconds. If you keep it the clock will repeat counting from 0 to 10. You have to change the duration parameter to the duration of the clock event. (In this case 1:30:00 for 1 minute and 30 seconds duration)
