How it runs

Stays up until something stops it. Fadeable, not seekable. The font travels with the show: the output window loads the same font file from the media cache.

Invalid without text, without a font, or with no video output configured or picked.

Scripting

The most scriptable cue there is: text, fontFamily, fontSize, textColor, align, valign, offsetX, offsetY, plus tint, brightness, contrast, saturation, level and duration. See properties.

const WORDS = ['THREE', 'TWO', 'ONE'];

function onStart() {
    every(1, function (index) {
        if (index < WORDS.length) this.text.set(WORDS[index]);
    });
}
