I know about "ShowFrameNumber" and "ShowSMPTE". The latter shows now real time but also counts frame numbers at time increments smaller than 1 s. Furthermore, it cnnot be used for videos with 50 fps like those resulting from the BOB filter.
I would like to generate a stopwatch and my first (successfull) attemt is:
clip=Subtitle(clip, "0.00",first_frame=1,last_frame=1,font="Arial", size = 72, x = 500, y = 500, text_color = $FF0000)
clip=Subtitle(clip, "0.02",first_frame=2,last_frame=2,font="Arial", size = 72, x = 500, y = 500, text_color = $FF0000)
clip=Subtitle(clip, "0.04",first_frame=3,last_frame=3,font="Arial", size = 72, x = 500, y = 500, text_color = $FF0000)
...
...
Subtitle(clip, "1.00",first_frame=51,last_frame=51,font="Arial", size = 72, x = 500, y = 500, text_color = $FF0000)
One may generate this repeative code by the use of Excel, but I wonder wether there is a more elegant approach to the problem.
I think, the use of the "Animate" meta filter is excluded, because we have a string parameter in the parameters list.
Any suggestions? |

Do you need something like this? not too elegant, but... hopefully, better than Excel-generated version (at least, it has to work at any framerate  )
function FrTime(clip clip,int frame,float fps)
{
ct=float(frame)/fps
hh=int(ct/3600)
str = String(hh)+":"
ct=ct-hh*3600
mm=int(ct/60)
str = (mm<10) ? str+"0"+String(mm)+":" : str+String(mm)+":"
ct=ct-mm*60
ss=ct-int(ct/60)
str = (ss<10) ? str+"0"+LeftStr(String(ss),5) : str+LeftStr(String(ss),6)
return str
}
clip=AVISource("Bonus.avi")
ScriptClip(clip,"subtitle(FrTime(clip,current_frame,framerate(clip)),align=3)")

Many thanks, works great!
Your script contains two decisive hints: the special filter "ScriptClip" and the runtime variable "current_frame". The latter is not explained in the documentation. The English version of the documentation contains an example how to use this varianle in connection with "ScriptClip":
ScriptClip("subtitle(string(current_frame))")
That's very near to the stopwatch! Regrettingly, this example is missing in the German documentation, where I took a look.
To my opnion, what's really needed in AVIsynth's documention would be a bunch of examples solving real problems. Couldn't it be amended that way?
Thanks again! |
