Hi,

I want to make a countdown timer and found that it can be created by using a Title and entering {0:6:00PM|hh:mm:ss}.

This works great for most times, however when trying to countdown to midnight it doesn't work. I tried the following:
• {0:12:00AM|hh:mm:ss}
• {0:00:00AM|hh:mm:ss}

and neither worked - it just displayed "12:00:00". Is there another way to countdown to midnight?

Also, when I was testing with counting down to times such as 6pm, once the countdown time is within the hour (eg: only 12 minutes to go), the hour on the counter reverts to "12" instead of "0". I realise this can be fixed by just using the mm:ss format but wanted to let you know.

Love the software - very user friendly and intuitive!


Regards,
Karen

Hi Karen,

There does appear to be a bug when setting the countdown to 12:00AM. It should be fixed in the next release.
As a workaround you could set the time to:

{0:11:59:59PM|HH:mm:ss}

Which would only be one second off.
Note the capital HH which should also fix the issue of reverting to 12 during the last hour.

Regards,

Martin

Hi Karen,

Just had another look, you can actually enter the full date to fix this issue.
For example:

{0:25 December 2012 12:00 AM|HH:mm:ss}

Hope this helps!
