Clock - fast forward
I want to add a clock face to a video which shows a real time fire of 4 minutes clipped/speeded up, to show in 64 seconds. Does anyone know how this can be done?

Hi, Jo.
Thank you for reaching out!
I'm looking forward to what the talented members of our community will suggest for you, but in the meantime, I found a discussion that might be helpful: here.
I am also attaching a sample file I created using variables on a layer. The video gets added to the base layer, and the digital timer is on the clock layer.
The timeline for the layer lasts half a second, and it moves two seconds at a time (four minutes will equal 60 seconds).
The logic is when the timeline ends:
- A value of 2 is added to the seconds2 variable (until it's greater than 8, then it resets).
- A value of 1 is added to the seconds variable (when seconds2 is greater than 8, until seconds is greater than 5, then it resets)
- A value of 1 is added to the minutes variable (when seconds2 is greater than 8, seconds is greater than 5, until minutes reaches 4)
- The timeline jumps back to the beginning once it ends.
- The timeline pauses when the variables are 4, 0, 0.
Let me know if this helps!
