How do I change the font/color/size/location of the "live view" clock? Can't seem to find it. I know I did it once before long ago.
 
Most cameras don't let you customize the timestamp overlay that much.

If you're using Blue Iris's overlay, go to Camera Properties > Video tab. Near the bottom there is an "Enable overlays" checkbox and an "Edit…" button just to the right of that. Click Edit. A new panel should appear, showing a snapshot with your overlay in it. You can drag it around and resize it here. Right-click on the timestamp and a panel should appear allowing you to modify the text, font, color, background, etc.

Thank you! I had used that ages ago but had no recollection where it was.

Using the BI overlays - wouldn't that require re-encoding rather than direct-to-disk?
 
In the past, yes, but if you use BVR format you can have BI add the timestamps during playback. However exporting with timestamps will require re-encoding which makes it slow and reduces quality.
