Time incrementer

Perhaps I have missed it, I have found a filter that shows the current frame number on each frame. I need something similiar to it. I would like to be able to use a cmd that lets me give it a time(seconds since the epoch), and it will bring that time up on the screen, formatted for viewing proper, and then increment properly in future frames. something like this: TimeStamp(clip , INT time , [same param's as subtitle]) so that I can take the timestamp my DV camera puts on each clip, and label each clip. I am recording public rallies, and I would like to show to the view when each scene happened. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

@HighInBC: ShowFrameNumber() will show the current frame number. ShowSMPTE(fps) will show a timecode. Both are god-awful ugly - maybe sometime soon they could get an update or someone could code a good filter for this!?!? @DDogg:It will of course reflect the current time, when the script was initiated. I assume this is what you're talking about.

I think a timestamp filter is relatively easy to do, even in a AVS function, IF you're not making hybrid/ variable framerate movies ( i'm not the best guy to talk about this :) ) Basically all we need is this: framecount / framerate = time in seconds Example: 75 frames / 25 fps = 3 seconds Then you need divisions for minutes, hours, but it's really easy (if I understood what you want, that is :) ) [/EDIT] Sh0dan, you posted first :) [/EDIT] Bilu

@Ddogg Best way for W2k and XP seems to be: INFO.BAT ========= del c:\info.avs for /F "usebackq" %%i IN (`time /t`) DO @echo Time=%%i >> c:\info.avs for /F "usebackq" %%i IN (`date /t`) DO @echo Date=%%i >> c:\info.avs In AVS script ============== CALL(BlankClip,"c:\info.bat","-2") Import("c:\info.avs") Bilu

@Ddogg You're right :) . Now check my function to avoid Eval and TeX notation :D Sorry for my behavior (hijacking the thread :eek: ) Bilu

The only thing that I don't like about my actual batch approach is that it depends on the FOR command for almost everything (getting size into a file, getting text from a file into a variable, parsing command output to a variable) and this functionalities of FOR do not exist on prior versions of Windows, so it's limiting our range of users! :scared: Bilu

Ddogg, I tried this: Code:

@Ddogg My syntax is wrong, but I posted a with a very important question for us to proceed. :rolleyes: Best regards, Bilu

Bilu, just out of curiosity, do you think it is possible to use the CALL command within a function?

I tried Code:
