Overlays
Time Bar
When this option is enabled (Menu -> Show timer or ⚙ Settings -> Markers and Timers -> Timers -> "Show Timer"), an overlay bar will appear at the top of the Prompter Editor 2 . This time bar contains:
- A timer in the format
HH:MM:SS:ii - In prompter mode only: a countdown indicating the time remaining until the next Action Marker
When the option is enabled, the timer is also visible on the prompter screen at the bottom of the window (the top area is reserved for document information).
To show or hide the Action Markers countdown, go to ⚙ Settings -> Markers and Timers -> Show markers on external display, and enable "Show Time to Next Action Marker".
Action Marker Countdown
When using Action Markers, a countdown will appear in the time bar, showing the time remaining until the next Action Marker:
- It becomes active when there are less than 2 minutes and 30 seconds (150 seconds) before the next marker.
- It displays the name of the next marker.
- The remaining time is proportional to the scrolling speed.
Title Bar
For the prompter screen only, another horizontal overlay bar, the title bar, displays:
- The document number, the total number of documents, and the title of the current document.
- A progress indicator in percentage, relative to the current document, along with a global progress indicator.
You can choose to display either (or none) of these elements by going to ⚙ Settings -> Markers and Timers -> Prompter Screen Overlay Metadata.
