Running a theatre stack I need to time the show. virtual console: I want to start the stop watch when cue 1 is invoked and stop on a later cue at end of show for example. How to do this please?

Another case for the loopback magic...

Create a dimmer channel inside a loopback universe.
Create a scene for that dimmer setting its value to 255.
When you start cue 1, also select this cue (a collection can be used for that purpose)
Select clock widget properties, under input, select the channel in the loopback universe for play/pause.
Go into production mode, selecting cue 1 will start the stopwatch.

(The same method applies to stop the clock)
All electric machines work on smoke... when the smoke escapes... they don't work anymore

Thank you for the reply, I added 2 channels in loopback 1 for the stop watch reset and 1 for clock stop/start. works well.

Can you share your project? I'm trying to do the same, but I'm missing something. Thanks.

Hello,
Following your post, I am interested in the solution to implement a timer when playing music, stop it, reset it to 0 and restart the clock. Could you send me your project. Thank you
