Please make it possible for animated lower thirds or allowed third party plugins.

I tried the overlay feature using videos and CSS but none worked (CSS is a cool way to edit but coding it is limited).

What animation do you need for the lower thirds? Please give a visual example.

Thanks. This looks very similar to the included "Name" overlay. Please try that, does that work?

You can right click the textboxes and set "Specific outputs" to only the lower thirds output if you want.

I have had the most annoying experience trying to use the app on multiple display. Maybe it's an issue with the computer but I struggled for more than half an hour to get the output on the various screens.

The setting were saved from the last time it was tested. I resolved the issue by going into the Outputs settings and change output values then click force outputs.

Can we have a button on main menu to use for this purpose?

@Maryland-Wesleyan Do you have a Mac?

You can simply hold CTRL/CMD when clicking the present output button to force the outputs, or right clicking that button.
Also "Choose screen", "Change output values", and enabling "Allow custom output position & size" should do the same thing, without needing the first steps.

Yes I have a Mac. Thanks. I will update you when next I use it.

I like the Calendar feature mainly because it works with the system clock. Only that I'd prefer the countdown display on the stage/confidence monitor or make it an option in the "Timers" category.

I am beginning to understand FreeShow overlays. I spent some time on the overlay and get something close to my desired effect using the transition feature. The only request is that an automated timer to have the layer toggle off without manually deactivate it.

Appreciate your work.
