SUMMARY

The offset of the timer effect can't exceed the clip-length. So it's impossible to add many short clips (5s-10s) of a football/soccer game to the timeline with the timer effected attached that shows the current time in the game.
Soccer: first half time 0-45 minutes, second half time 45-90 minutes.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Add a clip of length 5 seconds to the timeline
2.  Add  the timer effect to the clip
3.  Set the offset of the effect manually to 40 minutes and 30 seconds (00:40:30) in the input field
4. Hit enter or leave the input field by moving the focus

OBSERVED RESULT
The offset of the timer effect is set back to the length of the clip (5 seconds).

EXPECTED RESULT
The offset of the timer effect should not be restricted to the length of the clip (5 seconds).

I can confirm this. According to the MLT documentation there is no max value.

While we are at it, can we implement the missing parameters for ``speed`` and ``outline width``?
