Forum: Virtual DJ Plugins - Topic: New Years countdown plugin

Anyone have one or would want to make one? Looking for something that would show reverse time over a music video.

Hi David,

Tayla is the man for this, I think he currently in the process of making new ones. There was a thread going in the Gen forum a few days ago about this.

You could pm him, and see what he can do for you. I sure he wouldn't mind ;)

He's a top guy.

Thanks!

cheers mate, busy updating one or to from last year and making new ones for this holiday period, bit behind schedule just now due to work commitments but getting there, yk23 the vids are about 15 mins long and are in reverse countdown to midnightand made to work in conjunction with either of the two text programmes.

the two main vids are big ben (london) and times square (new york) with the new count down ball, but i can put virtually any city in the world into the vid, as long as i can find footage for them, they run five minutes before the hour and ten minutes after with a party mash up but anyone can add there own music to them, enough time to mingle with the crowd...

The next version of ScrollText has a macro in it, that allows you to display the time remaining until a certain date/time. Still needs a bit of work, but it's coming along :)

hehe well that saves me a pm, was going to ask how it was coming along so i could incorporate it into the vids...

Well it works, although at the moment you have to enter an epoch time:

#COUNTDOWN:1230163200#

would display the countdown until christmas day.

If you don't feel like working out an epoch timestamp manually you can use something like http://www.epochconverter.com/

It would then work out the appropriate value in days, minutes and seconds and substitute that. It updates in real time whilst scrolling across the screen.
