- In proclaim you can search the assets for “countdown”
- There are a few different options for countdowns, Joseph Lisle. What Dillon Evans says is a good start, Some of those were uploaded by me. If you want to customize the countdown a bit with a video editor, you can find them at the link and download them. https://media.faithlife.com/search?filter=mediaTypes%3Avideo%3Btags%3Acountdown You can add a countdown clock to any other media if you place that media in a Content Service Item and then put that in the WARM-UP section of Proclaim. Click the box marked Show a Countdown Clock and set it to automatically advance in 300 seconds and you have a static 5 minute Countdown. This as VERY basic, though. The options for the clock size and placement are pretty limited. You can do the same with an Image Slideshow item, but you have to divide 300 by the number of slides in the slideshow (30 slides = 300/30 = 10 seconds per slide). There's another option that is a bit complicated, but once you create the first one, you merely have to use Re-Use item and then change the background. Again, this one is a bit complicated, you create a Content item within the Warm-up Section. Put a video loop of some scenery you like on the content item and then add text to look like this: 5:00 -- 4:59 -- Etc. until you reach 4:00 Next, set the slide to auto advance every 1 second. This creates 61 slides and the numbers countdown when you go on On Air. It works pretty well. Duplicate that Content item and change the numbers to read 3:59 - 3:00 for the second one and then again for 2:59 - 2:00 etc. It takes 5 of them. I tried to put it all on one slide, but it never worked. You can then set your text in the location you want and the size you want. Add some music to the WARM-UP section and you have a countdown using your slides. (It looks like my second screenshot). Add some music to your WARM-UP section and you have a 5 minute countdown. When you're done, group them together and name the group something like Countdown Slide Group, then the next time you want to use use it, you go to Re-Use Item, and choose Slide Group from the dropdown menu and there it is. Change the font, the location of the text, whatever you like.
