I've had a read of the below and the Microsoft link in the article, but can't get anything to work.

https://www.vmix.com/kno...-clock-and-timer-options

All of my machines are running in UTC time. If want to display a clock or timer in PST, GMT or JST for example, how can i write that code into the string? I've tried both the Z and K commands, but with no luck. Any ideas?

@admin - please move to GT forum

My PC (Server 2019) is set to UTC. In vMix, i create a new GT Title, Timer Centre. {0:hh:mm:ss} this is the standard clock and i get a print of hh:mm:ss.

{0:K:hh:mm:ss} gives me +00:00:mm:hh:ss
{0:z:hh:mm:ss} gives me +0:mm:hh:ss
{0:hh:mm:ssz} gives me mm:hh:ss+0
{0:hh:mm:sszz} gives me mm:hh:ss+00

I've tried both Z and K commands, but can't work this out. I would like my clock to display JST for example. How do i code the syntax so that i can tell the command that i want a +9 or JST output clock, showing me just mm:hh:ss but in that timezone?

Could always use a production clock input with a time offset , crop and resize and overlay on title

or script (add/subtract time difference)



Code:
Dim d1 As DateTime = DateTime.Now.AddHours(3)
API.Function("SetText",Input:=1,SelectedIndex:="0" ,Value:=d1.ToString("dd/MM/yy H:mm:ss"))
