| - | There are countless ways to implement a countdown timer in vMix. But if you want a timer that changes color at certain times, displays an end text or counts up the overtime at 0, then here is a solution suggestion. Apart from vMix, nothing else is needed. In the end, the solution consists of 2 keyboard shortcuts and a script. The script generates its own timer. The variables in the script can be adjusted relatively easily. Since the script starts counting down immediately after starting, it needs another keyboard shortcut that resets the initial display. | + | Attention: this timer works only from vMix version 27. Must have something to do with the NET version somehow.\\ |
