SMPTE Universal Leader (4k resolution!!)

In the mid-1960s, SMPTE replaced the Academy Leader with a newer universal leader, called the "SMPTE Universal Leader", designed for both television and theatrical projection applications (though it did not gain widespread acceptance theatrically). It featured a continuous countdown from eight to two (measured in seconds, rather than feet), with the numbers in the center of a target with two white circles and a rotating "clock arm" animation. At the beginning, before the countdown, it features "16 SOUND START" and then "35 SOUND START" in a circle target. Then "PICTURE START" appears and the countdown begins. During the four count, the letters "C C F F" would appear around the countdown, signifying the use of those frames as "control frames." At two, a quick beep would be heard, sometimes known as the 2-pop. The Universal Leader is specified by ANSI/SMPTE 55.
This is a 4k resolution (4096x2304 px) version computer-generated by Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 entitled "Adobe Universal Leader". It beeps at the beginning of each number.

The Adobe countdown leader is also available on Adobe Premiere Elements. Not sure why they included that from Pro; I guess they figured it could be a fun novelty for consumers; if you make a video with that "old film" look, you can add this countdown to the start of it and add an "old film" effect to that. I usually set this countdown to only beep on "2."
