As text for the txtClock filed in the Timer overlay, simply write Quote: {0:mm:ss:fff}

I need to know how the string {0: hh: mm: ss tt} works because in the help documentation it has no reference to it. add fff only make this a clock timer with miliseconds but i need it on my custon timer and in the options I have only the mm:ss I do not have mm:ss:fff any tip ?

Is not like you will be able to show it accurately even when function as you request would be possible. May we ask the goal ? Ps we time in our sports to 0.001s

Ps we time in our sports to 0.001s We work with calltv, we use the clock with seconds to create an interactivity in the program, it is important for the strategy we use in interactivity, we currently use an external program on another computer i captured via vmixcapture and inserted a layer with that timer, but the use So it becomes unfeasible since we have to start and stop the clock manually on another computer making it so bad and not functional, as vmix already has this function to add the milliseconds would be a feature, thus leaving the use of the clock more effective.

Lots of systems basically fake things a bit , they display a running clock but exact final timing is done separate and than just written over on the desired title.

You can make timer video with alpha channel. And overlay it whatever you want. Control of the clock you will have as video playback. Play, pause and with "SetPosition" you can set timer to different times.

Unless you are importing data from a real timer it will always be sort of fake. YOu wont be able to follow milliseconds anyway so only end time will be appropriate SO either you want a real timer to measure with or as you implied yourself , "for the visual" other option : properly explain what exactly is your purpose

Prior to using vMix's Timer (or using vMix for that matter), I used to use an external app called XNoteStopwatch for my game clock needs. It's not that different from the vMix Timer, but may offer more upfront options with regards to milliseconds, certainly worth a look. Ice
