Hi everyone,
I tried to set the duration of an Ticker Text to 3 minutes (180.000 milliseconds) in the Overlay Setting but I got an error. What I want is the Ticker Text to scroll and after 3 minutes, I want it to disapear from the output windows. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The max.duration of an overlay is 10.000 milliseconds

As always, there are multiple ways to achieve this. This is working for me:

1. Create your ticker
2. Create a timer input with your necessary duration
3. On your ticker input, create a trigger "OnOverlayIn > StartCountdown > input from point 2"
4. On your timer input, create a trigger "OnCountdownCompleted > OverlayInput1Off"

Whenever you put your ticker as Overlay 1, it will start the timer and after the chosen duration it will end the overlay

Thanks for the suggestion, i will definitely try it tomorrow. I knew the maximum duration for the overlays was 10.000 milliseconds but the user guide pdf i downloaded never mention it. Thanks again!
