This is for using VLC from command line... This way you can access to all the options... It is more powerful than using the GUI but less easy (learning curve).

But you also can add the time from the GUI (with less options like offset, colour...):
-Open Tools menu and go to effects and filters or by short key Ctrl+E
-Go to tab Video Effect
-Go to tab Overlay
-Select Add text and inside text box, write $T
-Select the position of your choice

That's it... VLC is great, isn't it?

Hope this help.
