Clock – a standard Key Object that shows the time (HH:MM) in 12- or 24-hour format.

Clicking on the Key Objects Plug-In will show the following Keys:

As a note, Keys are the top-most layer and will remain on for all Cues/Pages until you turn them off. In MediaShout 7, we’ve made it easier and more seamless to create your keys and have them at the ready when you need them. A long-time favorite with some newly added features, the Key Objects Plug-In is essentially the Keys from previous versions.
