Ten-second countdown to doors open
A countdown gives a room or a livestream one shared moment. Here the flip digits change exactly once per second, a ring empties in step and a string of lights switches on bulb by bulb until everything lights up at zero and the event details slide in. The sample event is fictional.
Northside Night Market is a fictional event, labelled on screen.
The prompt

(2) 2–12s a flip-clock style countdown from 10 to 1, exactly one number per second, each digit flipping on the second; behind it, a ring progress arc depletes in step and string lights (small glowing dots on a sagging curve, drawn in SVG) light up one bulb per second. (3) 12–16s at zero the lights burst to full brightness, the number swaps for 'We're open' and the details line 'Fridays · 6–11 pm · Pier 4' slides in. Warm night palette: deep navy (#141a33), amber (#ffb547), off-white text. Digits ≥300px, all other text ≥40px.

Yes. Each number holds for exactly one second of video, so a 10-second countdown is 10 seconds long.
Can it count down to a date?
It counts a fixed number of seconds, which is what you play on a screen or at the start of a stream. For days-until-launch posts, render one short clip per day.
Is Northside Night Market real?
No. It is a fictional event used for this sample, and the video labels it as fictional.
What lengths are available?
5, 10 or 30 seconds of countdown, plus a few seconds for the reveal.
