Stopwatch for video editing

Hi all!

Does anyone know any plugin or some piece of software (eg Pinnacle add-on,
Adobe Premiere plug-in, etc) to place stopwatch like on sport events on the
screen. I know that one way to do it is to make subtitles and add every
single frame with different number but this is too much work for this.

BR,

Is this something that might help?

It will do time burn on your videos. I use it to put timecode on the video
so my client and I can talk about it but you could use it for the clips that
you want a timer on and then just edit them back into the timeline.

Also, look for timecode in After Effects help and they have a timecode burn
function that may be what you want.

As for an actual stopwatch looking graphic, I got nothing.

If you want it to actually look like a stopwatch, just video tape a
running stopwatch close up. Then add that clip in as a small picture in
picture.
