my boss wants a way to put up on the screens a changeable countdown for shot specials with graphics. thought about some of the plug-ins that already exist but not sure they'll work. thought about a clipbank option but to be honest unless a graphics wiz made the graphic and had the timer exactly right then it would just look cheesy. and i am not a graphics wiz.
so anyone want to take a swing at it or point me in the right direction?

I'm not sure since I don't use these kind of plug-ins, but you should check the Firetext plug-in. I have the impression that it does anything you need ATM. :)

Then you should also check with SBDJ plug-ins
I know there's a count-down plug-in I just can't remember it...

nothing in can find can do what i need.
a simple countdown that can be used with variable entry times 15 minute, 10 minute, 5 minutes, etc. countdown plug-in useful if i can get it to work but doesnt have features i need, specifically being able to program it for time directly. am thinking maybe i should try to make graphic and put countdown clock on it with variable lengths stored in clipbank? dunno. figured there were others who could use plug-in as well if they had places with times specials

You could try with flash countdown timers... load them over Firetext VDJ Robot. Here's NYE example, counts 'till midnight and fires 'Happy New Year' text: http://www.resolume.com/download/countdown.swf
If you want to remake it for some other event, use Sothink's Quicker: http://www.sothink.com/product/swfquicker/
and change the time and text. It's the fastest and very easy solution, rather than coding some plugin just for that,

I found it!
SBDJ Scrolltext (Ver 1) supports countdown by using a macro.
Take a look at the following page:
http://www.virtualdj.com/forums/92604/VirtualDJ_Plugins/SBDJ_ScrollText.html?search=scrolltext&page=15
It's somewhere on the middle of the page.
The only backdraw is that you have to use EPOCH times....

i started reading and my eyes glazed over after a minute as my brain could not process. and when i got to the EPOCH time converter page my brain shut completly down and i had to go play MW3 for an hour.
this is why i love the K.I.S.S. Principle so much. and why i let others who know how to use and understand these things try to fix.
