Thanks for sharing James!

FelixFranke​ Would it be possible to elaborate on your formatting solution, or may I dare ask for your story file?

EDIT: Got it also! 

I just created a new text field off-canvas (as indicated by FelixFranke) that contains the digits 0123456789. I formatted this text field as required (font, size,color etc). I applied the same formatting to the timer and voila, it works!

Many thanks to all!

    Hi Simeon,

    sorry I was out of office yesterday. But as I see, you found out yourself 😊
    I actually just copied the text field on the slide from James's original file and formatted it the way I wanted it.

    I absolutely love it. Before, I used a countdown video, which I shortened to the required length and used the nd of that video as a trigger. But that bulks up the .story file. This is so much more elegant 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
