Description
This plugin creates a small graphic containing a timecode. It requires a 'sync' reference to be connected that is used to advance the frame count on the timecode. The graphic is designed to be overlaid on top of another video feed, therefore requiring the Graphics2D.Compositor plugin or similar in order to create a final video frame. Also note that at the moment, this is not a true timecode. The system's current time of day is used for the hours:minutes:seconds portion of the timecode, and the final pair of digits simply advances every time a frame is detected. These digits reset every time the system clock advances by one second. The aim will be to re-write this TimeCodeGraphic plugin to more accurate reflect the current timecode at a later date.
