 +Attention: this timer works only from vMix version 27. Must have something to do with the NET version somehow.\\
 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. If you change the countdown time, you have to change the script. In the following I try to describe this process. There are countless ways to implement a countdown timer in vMix.

   * 1. Create a keyboard shortcut, e.g. with the letter "R" (for reset), to stop the script Countdown (just in case it is still running) Set the Local Script checkbox to true.\\   * 1.

 Finally, load the title into your vMix as used in the example. You can download the title here. I have also provided the whole thing as a bundle for download or the preset alone, which already contains the shortcuts and the script.\\ Finally, load the title into your vMix as used in the example.

 +DynamicValue also makes it easy to adjust the countdown times. With a streamdeck pad you could enter different times in Dynamicvalue and the script could then take the coutdown time from there.
