WHY USE THIS TOOL

Add Timestamp to Video

Render an elapsed playback-time counter directly onto the video for demonstrations, evidence clips or reviews.

Choose a practical font size, position and text color with a contrast box behind the text.

The existing audio track is retained while the video frames are re-encoded.

The finished video uses the existing VideoHop H.264 MP4 processing pipeline.

HOW IT WORKS

1
Upload a video
Choose a supported video from your device.
2
Choose timestamp placement
Choose where the elapsed-time counter should appear and select its size and color.
3
Create and download
VideoHop renders the overlay into the video and returns an MP4.

Good to know

The overlay is permanently rendered into the exported video frames. The uploaded original file is not changed.

QUICK ANSWERS

Is the text permanently visible?

Yes. The overlay is burned into the exported video rather than stored as a selectable subtitle track.

Will my existing audio remain?

Yes. The video's existing audio is retained when an audio stream is present.

What does the timestamp show?

It displays the elapsed playback time of the exported video.
