Set the clock format, e.g. %H:%M to display 14:57 or %I:%M%p for 02:57PM. For a complete list of formats see below.
Configure your scene:

OPTION A: Create scene from scratch
Select the pre-existing text widgets in your current scene for:
- clock
- event from/to time
- event description
- presenter name
- countdown (see below for details)
  the plugin configuration dialog should now look similar to this:

OPTION B: Use provided sample scene

Download the file examples/example_scene_clock_countdown.json and import via menu option Scene collection > Import >... replace missing assets with your own images for logo and background.

4. Click Edit Script and in the editor configure the schedule in the `schedule` variable, as in the following example:

Lua:

schedule = {
    {from = "7:25", to = "9:50", description = "The Great Awakening", by = "Dr Andale"},
    {from = "12:00", to = "12:55", description = "Intro: Defending against attack with fruit", by = "Dr Dinsdale"},
    {from = "13:00", to = "13:55", description = "Intermediate: How to Irritate People", by = "Prof Pandale"},
    {from = "14:15", to = "15:30", description = "Advanced: Something Completely Different", by = "Br Rindale"},
    {from = "17:00", to = "19:55", description = "Professional: Bicycle Repair Man Presentation", by = "Sr Lindale"},
    {from = "20:00", to = "21:15", description = "Academy: How to Recognise Different Types of Trees", by = "Hon Pindale"},
