I would like a trigger for completion of countdown to time. With OBS and VMIX I have been using an external program, SNAZ, to generate timer text for countdowns. When it reaches the time, it will output a text message instead of the clock. Unfortunately, it's an extra few steps to set up and run for each instance. If it was built in to VMIX, that would be one less program to configure and run for each livestream. It would also be great to be able to trigger the next input, such as an intro slide or video.

Mahalo!

Why use external app when vMix scripting can do the job (including the trigger for next input or any other functions) ?

That's what I'm asking about - and specifically for the Countdown to Time.

Yes from the Countdown to time as for a regular countdown there is a trigger function in place already

Call script
Read the time from its display in the title
if time turns zero set the text and/or add any other function
Exit script
Else loop (check again)
