    Scott, thank you so very much for everything in this video! I had been using a third-party app for my stream starting countdown timer and it was very undwieldy. I had NO IDEA that OBS Studio had a built-in Lua script for a countdown! I would never in a thousand years have thought to look at that menu and explore that option. Also, I had configured sounds to play with each scene transition, but I never knew how to make it so that I could hear them when they happen. I always had to watch the replay of the stream to hear them. So you killed two birds with one giant stone for me with this video. Thanks again!

    Hey
    Scott, thank you for helping the OBS community. I have a question for you. I have 4 sources in a scene and I want to on and off their visibility depends on the day of the week.
    for example :
    MONDAY
    source 1 - eye open
    source 2,3,4 - eye close
    TUESDAY
    source 2 - eye open
    source 1,3,4 - eye close
    etc... If you know any tool that I can do this when I start OBS software, Please kindly let me know, thank you

    If you put a host camera (video capture device) in the scene at the bottom and set the video countdown to "show nothing when video ends" plus "do not loop" the countdown will go right to host camera. NOW is there a way for the host to see a countdown to when the video is going to end through his monitor? So I have directed this countdown scene to play in his monitor but I don't want it to be live. This way he will know he is live.

    Good tutorial. I found it is easy to alter the script to only show MM:SS.
    Here are some instructions on how to edit the script. I hope this helps you and maybe someone else.
    Open up the scripts just as in the video. Tools -> Scripts -> press "+" look at the top of the dialog box and it will tell you the path to the scripts.
    In my case it was "C:\Program Files\obs-studio\data\obs-plugins\frontend-tools\scripts".
    Using explorer go to that path and find the Countdown.lua. Make a copy of it and name it something memorable, I suggest "countdownHHMM.lua".
    Now that we have a copy of the script open it in a text editor. I use notepad++ but any text editor will work.
    Look for this line:
    local text = string.format("%02d:%02d:%02d", hours, minutes, seconds)
    This is the code that tells the script how to format the text.
    We only want to see minutes and seconds so change it to:
    local text = string.format("%02d:%02d", minutes, seconds)
    Remember this will not display the hours so when you are specifying a number of minutes make sure you are not going over 59. If you specify over 59 you will see 00:59 until you get to less than 60. You could alter the script to have a max value but that is more work than I was willing to explain in a YT comment.
    Ok I lied, To change it to seconds alter these lines:
    old: total_seconds = obs.obs_data_get_int(settings, "duration") * 60
    new: total_seconds = obs.obs_data_get_int(settings, "duration")
    old: obs.obs_properties_add_int(props, "duration", "Duration (minutes)", 1, 100000, 1)
    new: obs.obs_properties_add_int(props, "duration", "Seconds max < 3599", 1, 3599, 1)
    This will give you a max timer of 59min 59sec. change the both of the 3599 to a bigger number if you need more than 1 hour. But remember if you removed the hour digits like I did (previous change) then you will not be able to see the hours. I found I needed seconds rather than min and I never need hours.

      @@ScottFichter I modded another version that someone else add auto scene switching after the countdown. It is based on the same one you demoed. So my changes work but there are more you also have to do to limit it to 1 hour. If you want the info on it I can send you my altered version. The auto scene sw is awesome

    Hi there! I have a question: In your video, your window keeps growing and going small in an animated way. Is it done in OBS too? or it´s done only on edding?
    Very good work, by the way! Your videos are helping me a lot!

      Ah yes. This video was made with a Mac and ScreenFlow8. If you have a PC you'll want to use Camtasia. Both programs are terrific but ScreenFlow is better in my opinion.
