There are cases when you want to show the countdown right before the beginning of your pre-recorded live stream. In order to do so, take the following steps: 

1. Setup a Countdown layer and click on Scenes at the bottom.

Click countdown scenes

2. Click on Plus Icon to add a new Scene with your Pre-recorded video.

3. Add a Video Layer and upload your video file

Optional: If you want to switch from a pre-recorded video to a Pre-recorded video manually, activate AutoSync Mode. Once you're ready to make a switch, just click on a Pre-recorded scene, and it will be synchronized with live right away. 

Note: If you make any changes within a scene (f.e. dragging or removing layers) while AutoSync Mode is active, all the changes will be SYNCed and visible to your audience right away.
