I want a countdown timer in my video in hours minute second format. I tried "drawtext" filter using eif option but it only provides me with countdown timer in seconds. I want complete H:M:S format. 
Edit: 
Currently I'm using 
ffmpeg -i input_file -vf drawtext=fontfile=/address:text='%{eif:10-t:d}'
