Whenever I add the title as an input, the format is set to "hh:mm:ss" and need to set it in "Title Editor | Settings". Thanks rhodian

Alternativly one can make one's own countdown using a script but that's more work than just changing a setting Dont understand the issue (struggle) of having to set it in "Title Editor | Settings" though

Regards, Thomas I spoke with support and they indicated that it was the only countdown solution, I got around it by masking out the hours. Regards rhodian

Regards rhodian Sorry but i do not understand masking to be the only solution instead of having to set it in "Title Editor | Settings" once during setup.

Sometimes it is useful to change the display format from "hh:mm:ss" to "hh:mm" automatically during the countdown is running from over to less 1 hour. It's not handy to do this by editing the "Title Editor" settings.

Ok that makes sense now , thanks If you are scripting anyway one could create the countdown in the script and format the display of it (and color) accordingly too using vb.net basics using TimeSpan, stopwatch etc
