I have attached an image of what I created using Triggers.
Unfortunately it is not working correctly.
My triggers are stopping after 30 seconds even though the delay is higher.
Up to 30 seconds is no problem and I can do 10 seconds and it stops or 20 and it stops.
Over 30 it always stops at 30.
This image is my 10 minute test and I tried 5 minutes which is 300k

So what did I do wrong?

Thanks everyone for your help.

Triggers are intended to be used short term and so the maximum duration between items is 30 seconds.

This is by design since Triggers cannot be cancelled, so if set higher the trigger could activate when the operator does not expect it
or has moved on to other stages of the production.

So, since 30 sec is the limit just make a blank or clear overlay that is triggered in the beginning that is active for needed time then have it preform a trigger at completion.
This is the first idea off the top of my head :-)

I don't completely understand so I will be re-reading this later. I just got it. I will need to create something that has a length of X Time, what can do that, can a blank item have a timing, I know an image can. Then I show that which starts everything, have it run X Time and upon completion it has the Stop Feature.

I will need to experiment and I will report back.
Thanks for the suggestion and the help.
