Easily set the countdown timer within Pictor in a few clicks - here's how!
Where to Find the Countdown Setting
The countdown setting lives inside your Template Editor. You’ll adjust it on the template itself, then save those changes through your workflow.
Steps to Change the Countdown Timer
1. Open or Create a Template
Go to Templates under the Choose Experience within your Flow tab.
Select Create Template or choose an existing template to edit.
2. Locate the Countdown Timer
Click Layers, then select Capture to open the capture settings.
You’ll see the current countdown value (e.g., 3 seconds).
Enter your desired countdown time (e.g., 10 seconds).
Click Save Changes.
Tip:
A 3-second countdown is standard.
Use longer countdowns (e.g., 10 seconds) for larger groups or events where guests need more prep time.
3. Save Your Template & Flow
After adjusting the countdown:
Save the template.
Save your changes on the Flow stage to ensure everything applies.
4. Preview in the Simulator
Open the Simulator.
Trigger a capture to test the new countdown.
You’ll see the updated timer begin (e.g., “10… 9… 8…”).
