how would I be able to make a timer for clips? i.e. if the clip is 20 seconds long, the time counts down somewhere when I activate clip.

it would be useful to know when a clip is going to end...

Hi,

You can use the keywords :
'info_layer_media_timeLength' and 'direct_layer_media_timePositionSec'
to do that.

be careful, it's not direct_layer_media_timePositionSec but direct_layer_movie_timePositionSec

I spend some time trying to do that... I'll post my module on the online library as soon as it's done

I added a module in the online library (s6) Media Timer

it's not complete as it doesn't support correctly the speed and the in/out options. I'll try to improve it in the future, in the meantime you can also try to improve it

v 1.1 now supports the in and out selection.
The speed is not defined yet, but if the fact that the timer goes faster or slower doesn't bother you you can use it!

Things to improve:
- showing milliseconds (or images, but don't know if we can get the framerate in modul8)
- adapt the timer with the speed of a clip and the global speed.

nice module , I think you should also add a display mode to let user choose between bar views or pot views or number fields views to improve CPU use
