it would be great to use the timer for a specific countdown time (i.e. 08:25:16 PM), what is possible, but there is no trigger function to use, when the time was reached.
Also it would be usefull, to safe in the title several presets, if you need more than one timer. It would help to time and controle many many productions.

SCRIPT IT !

Explanation:
we have a playlist, it runs some hours, after that, a picture is shown and a time runs. But we chance the playlist every week, so it should be easy to trigger what to do, when it is 8 o'clock in the morning, or 1 pm, 6:30 pm and so on. it is much individual so it it cannot be a script, because we had to change it over and over again. That is not usefull.

WHy could it not be? Would you not have to set the time of the trigger (if existed) too? So a quick edit of a time variable in a script would take the same time, even a Dynamic value could be used . Heck a data source could come in handy for a weeks schedule or so

Cool username btw ;-)

I am using VMix Basic HD licensed version.

There is one query.

I want to utilize "countdown to time" feature.

What I want to achieve:-

I have set this countdown to time {0:3:00 PM|HH:mm:ss}. And I also have added trigger, that after countdown ends, it must switch to defined input.

But, as countdown completes, it displays 00:00:00 and it doesn't switch the defined input which I have added in trigger. I have tried a lot but it doesn't work.

My point is, after countdown completes, why it's not triggering????

In addition,

Actually, it's working when after adding "Oncountdowncompleted" but I had to add duration in countdown setting, in that case it is working, but it is a very lengthy process. I am sure, there will be a way out for this, because when there is option for countdown to time {0:3:00 PM|HH:mm:ss},then it should be triggering the selected input in trigger option.

sorry, but that is not what we want to do. We all understand how countdowns are working, but often it is needed, that something will hapen to a specific time. I.E. when there is a picture in pgm, or a camera, there is nothing to use for triggers, so that is why it should work. Otherwise the whole function is useless.

Please do not try to explain why we DO NOT need this function, we DO need this, that is why we are asking for it.

Script is set for 12 hr time (AM/PM)

Change to DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm") for a 24 hr clock time (capital H instead of h)

It stops somewhere ;-) specifically when the time of day is reached .
This is just an example, and is open to modification or adaptation to own needs , add multiple times for multiple triggering or... all up to ones imagination

Like one can encapsulate the script into another unconditional loop so it never stops and repeats its trigger each day ( unless you close vMix) but add a pause to cover that 1 minute the check time is the same or one just starts the script again manually or by shortcut

it's as useful as you make it be and there are several ways for more times to be triggered (dynamic values, datasource, etc..). One can make scripts as simple or as functional as one wants them to be be it internal vMix ones or external apps

Thank you so much. It worked!!!!!!
