I'm having the same problem as others

https://forums.vmix.com/...ot-triggering-transition


I have a countdown timer to a livestream that with go live at say 7:00

XAML {0:07:00 PM|mm:ss}

When this timer completes the trigger will not activate



It would be good to trigger on time of day, or even a calendar date for that matter

Like the post you are referring to , this is a clock counting down and not a countdown timer
You can solve this with a script checking the system time and act upon that (examples have been posted in this forum)

"script checking"

I assume this requires the 4k version and above?


This is why this is in the feature request section.

Your assumption is correct

I see your point , turn a higher end flexible possibility into a free fixed lower end addition ;-)

I would agree. We have two timers set for this and would like to create a video that starts 2 minutes or so before service starts.
{0:6:30 PM|HH:mm:ss} can not be triggered from anything as its going off of system time.

Great feature. Much appreciated. I would start AE-rendered 10-min video timer right 10 mins before the show time
Also this feature would be useful to play "bugs", little overlay banners, at exact time periods

You can use vsheduler to start automatically a video in a specified time https://forums.vmix.com/...ler---vMixScheduler-Fork
But yes it will be good if in triggers we had on time.

Here's the countdown to service start code we use to control when the streaming starts, when the recording starts, all the transitions (play an animated logo, switch to camera in Preview) when the service starts and plan to do more things later when I get the time to write the code (and the need, plus some external hardware changes).

This code also does a true countdown giving Hours, Minutes and Seconds until the service starts instead of the backwards "countdown" by changing the title in our countdown screen (a multiview screen with an animated background image, a countdown bar, Title bar announcing who we are and a nice large window in which the announcement slides are played and in which a pre-service video could also be played (future plans).



The script is started by a trigger on the Countdown screen so when the countdown screen is made Live the script starts.

Note that you could add anything you need in the countdown process including switching to other screens and back since the script won't start a second time if it's already running.
