Countdown timer needed

[FrogDog]

I stream me lifting weights. I just bailed on Xsplit due to problems using intel quick sync.

Xsplit has a few things I would like future implimentations of here with obs.

1. I need 2 resetable countdown timers, 1 minute stop at 0, and 1:30 sec timer stop at 0. The current available plugins do not allow this. I have spent countless hours trying to find an alternative way to display 2 timers that i can reset in my stream that others can see.

2. The ability to have a whiteboard overlay, so in my case, highlight completed sets of reps i do in my workout.

Any help to achieve this for now is appreciated.

3. ability to multicast to 2 streaming services simultaneously using same profile and scenes. I stream 2 channels at same time of same content.

workaround for me was to learn to apply the video source plugin and use a video of a countdown of specified time. all good now, plus it looks better.

have a look in plugin section, may not have all the features you need however.

@theriddick, are there any you'd recommend?

He probably meant the countdown timer plugin. But you could also checkout Snaz I guess.

As an update, Snaz is awesome.

Had an issue w/ it constantly saving files on the directory of my SSD (C: drive) but the dev notified me it's the directory Snaz is installed to which determines where log files are written so it was as easy as installing to D: instead of C:.

Great piece of software, lots of features, easily configurable. I'd recommend it for anyone wanting basic countdown timers in OBS.
