Let's make a countdown timer. Select the slides you would like. Click the time countdown button. This slide out will appear. Let's go over the sections in here. The countdown start section. Here you can set the time for your countdown. Minutes here, seconds here.
The zero minute placeholder will add a zero in front of the seconds when it reaches below one minute. Here you can adjust the intervals of the countdown so instead of counting down by each second, you can make it count down every few seconds. For instance, if you wanted it to only click over every five seconds, you would select five in this spot.
Counting animation. You can uncheck this check mark and select from various transition effects. Additional options. If you want to show a text at the end of your countdown, you can select it here and change it to whatever you would like. Create countdown cover. Having this check just makes a blue box for you to work with instead of a bunch of numbers jumbled on each other.
Auto transition will make the countdown timer start automatically and upon completion go into a new slide once it hits zero. If you have a text at the end of your countdown and have auto transition on, this will allow you to determine how many seconds the text last before it transitions into the next slide. The reformat countdown button allows you to change your font, font size, color, and shadow. The create or rebuild button puts everything together for you. And here's the finished project. That's all for now.
