Yes, you can use a Title to achieve this:

1. Add a Title Input into vMix.
2. Type in "{0:hh:mm:ss tt}" as the text. This can be customised to whatever time/date format you choose.

vMix

Try: {0:HH:mm:ss}

Hello Martin,


What about having the option to display the time ONLY on the second monitor for the persons in the set and not show it in the main output ?


Thank you very much,

All of the above should be able if you're creating some custom XAML-Theme. This is the very format those overlays are made of and is user costumizeable. Have a look into your vMix program folder, there is a folder called "titles". That's where the magic's stored. ;)

Let me explain it as for the example of title "TickerHD2":

There are 4 files:

• TickerHD2.xaml.jpg
  ==> the preview image to be shown in the title selection
  
• TickerHD2.xaml
  ==> Here's what you want! If you take a look into it with your favorite text editor, you'll see a XML-File with several elements. The "Storyboard" is responsible for animating the ticker. And the "Grid" is defining what to place where and in what size, font, color... See this thread for further information.
  
• TickerHD2.xaml.vb
  ==> That's a file programmatically necessary. Probably one could do some additional magic here, I don't know. At least I haven't found out yet. Anyway: just copy the *.vb file of any other title and edit the name of the Class to match your own title.
  
• TickerHD2.xaml.png
  ==> That's the actual background image. It is referenced from within the *.xaml file and may be located anywhere. This one's in the same folder for convenience reasons. But I made my own title for example where it's using an image from anywhere else on the HDD. So no worry about that. ;)
  

Hopefully this gives you a short glimpse of what can be done using those xaml-titles. You can literally do anything you want with them! Probably the best way to find out how it works is to copy the title you like the most to a new file and make small changes to it. That way you can find out how to manipulate it and eventually come up with the very title scene you ever dreamed of! ;)

And if you need any further assistance or information, don't hesitate to ask for it here in the forums.

That's exactly what I'm aiming at. Yes, Expression Blend may be used. But it's no must.

And since XAML -> Wiki is a common standard ... it shouldn't be the problem to find a suitable reference for this.
