![]() Important note: If you want to try Epidemic Sound for your music, you can grab a free trial here. Make sure you’ve planned out your Scenes in advance and have a next Scene to go to. And don’t forget to mute your mic! It’ll unmute when it goes to the next Scene and your show starts. You can also add music to your countdown timer in Ecamm Live. And you can certainly start your broadcast 10 minutes earlier (or whatever countdown time you decide on) so that it counts down to your exact start time. You can always test out your countdown timer. You’ll find countdowns in the Overlays menu in Ecamm Live and you can customize the amount of time, the font, the color, and the size.īe sure to check the “go to the next Scene when finished” checkbox so that when your countdown ends, your show will start. Once you have your transparent animated Overlay laying on your Scene, you can add the countdown feature into it. ![]() The MOV file does not contain the countdown. This file has an animation (the moving circle) and “starting soon” text built into it and is slightly transparent (so that you can see Luria behind it). To create a loop of the animated Overlay, you just need to click the arrow to the right of the play button in Ecamm Live and select “loop”. Make sure you’ve created a short, small file so that you can loop it and not worry about it bogging down your computer. In our example, we add the transparent MOV file into Ecamm Live as an animated Overlay. It depends on the look and feel you’re trying to achieve. You could choose to just have a regular video file that you layer the countdown on top of or even a static image. This allows viewers to see the video feed behind the graphic (dancing and prepping for the show) and gives a unique and professional look to the broadcast. The countdown that we use for Go LIVE Now! is a transparent MOV file that sits on top of our main camera Scene in Ecamm Live. How to Build Out a Countdown Timer for Your Live Video Remember to keep it simple if you’re designing it yourself as you learn what works and what doesn’t.
