We’ve been making our own 5 minute countdown timers for the last several months, which can be done easily in ProPresenter by throwing the timer over a logo, or video loop.  However, we like being able to have 1 countdown video (a video loop of our current series graphic) that also contains music (of our choosing) behind it, with volume fades properly automated.  So, I’ve been using AfterEffects, and Final Cut to make it happen.  It’s actually pretty simple…

Here is a script to make it work, as well as some brief instructions.
