Would be great if you could add a feature to add a penalty clock to the existing timing of a game.

At the moment I add an additional overlay/multiview and trigger that clock with the Start-/Stop-Shortcut of the regular game clock. However it is pretty intense to reset the clock on 2 minutes, set the overlay/multiview and then start the clock. Would be appreciated, if there would be such an additional feature.

I feel your pain fenki86...
(as stated in this thread: http://forums.vmix.com.a....aspx?g=posts&t=2315 with similar frustrations)

Not sure if you knew, but you can reset the "penalty clock" with a hot key as well which helps to ease the "intensity" of the moment (StopCountdown will reset the clock to it's set duration).
The challenge becomes managing the multitude of hot key triggers you need to make it work.

If there is a simpler or better way to implement a game scoreboard with multiple timers, I'm all for it!
