ProPresenter 7 | Setup Timers on Props and Stage Display Layouts

Timers and Countdowns are an incredible tool that can be used in multiple places across ProPresenter 7. Let's take a look at setting up Timers and Countdowns, then configuring them with Props and Stage Display Layouts in Pro7. I'm also sharing Real-World Applications to use these Timers in ProPresenter 7.

This is the place to learn all about what I have to offer. Download my "ProPresenter 7 QuickStart Template" from the shop. I also do Training and Consulting so check out my calendar where you can schedule a zoom session.

Props editor! Finally someone with the answer. I could not for the life of me figure out how to overlay the timer on my whole announcement section.

Moving to actually utilize timers! Your video as been easiest to follow and helped me with a starting point. Especially doing timers in props!

Thanks Nathan. I am currently in working out these things and your video is super helpful. Thanks to your explanation. Is there a way to also show the outcome when choosing another step and why? That would be awesome. I agree with Evan. It's the easiest to follow up and the props I haven't known about yet. Blessings from Germany! :)

Hey thank but how do you change the layout on stage display if you have a volunteer who has limited understanding. Is there a way to use macro to change the layout from preacher to song.

I'm running ProPresenter 7 on Windows v.7.13.2. When I go to the prop editor and create a new prop I'm not able to add a timer. When I click the + icon to add a layer I don't have the option for timer. In fact, the only options I have are Text, Shape, Media, Video Input and Web. Can you tell me how you got the timer in your prop?

I know I'm new at this...particularly working with timers, but you skipped right over how to create the timer in the prop layer. You had one already made and didn't explain how you added a timer to the prop layer. You then quickly sped through using a timer template. But when I go to themes in my PP7, I don't have a countdown option. You again didn't show how to create a timer in a theme, but rather used one you already had made. Therefore, I'm still struggling with how to do this. I'll have to look elsewhere for help, I guess.
