Using the video from here and mixing it with the audio from the 90 second countdown clip from here I was able to mix the two together to bring you the current 90 second countdown:

Any improvements just comment, such as the music being out of sync, but this is more of a "what if" than mock.

New version (UPDATED):

Posted this last night but browser crashed, so I quickly embedded the new video, but now I can add detail. The original was a bit out of sync, and I've just noticed this is a bit too, but better than the previous version. I also put the full hold with filler music, and put some credits on the end. I can't remember what exact link for the topic in the Request forum, but I wanted to credit it anyway. Hope you like it.

Updated! Yes, again, and this time the syncing should be spot on. Just click on the movie above, I've replaced the old one.

Remember, the audio and video is not mine. I have done my best to credit each source. Thanks.

Love the hold you have made. Good mock but why not add the headline bed on the hold so you don't just watch the globe with the red bars (although I am aware the real hold will be silent). Other than that good mock "CBBC".

While I'd love to take credit for it, as I said in my post, the video is from someone else on YouTube, although I can do that with the hold. On the actual video the hold is even longer than in my video, so I'll try and sort something out. Thanks for the comment, tvdesigns.

Really good although I do prefer the current music sorry.

Just noticed the music is a tad out of sync with the coutdown, when I add the headline bed you will see I've fixed that. Thanks for the comment, bpmikey. The current one does have sound effects that go with the countdown, but I just wanted to see what the original version was like, instead of having the (currently) watered-down version.

Just because I've posted bad mocks in the past doesn't mean you don't look at this one, people. Sorry if I'm bragging, but I thought this was a worthy mock.

I am sure it's a brilliant mock but unfortunately I can't see it. Sad

Can you post the link for the video?

Well done CBBC better than your 1st mock attempt of the countdown and you also put the theme on the hold! Brilliant. Very Happy

One thing I really don't like is people messing around with something that is already out there and making it there own.

But I have to say this works very well.

Well done.

Well to be honest that's all I can do, I mean let's face it; I'll probably never be bothered to go out and buy an imaging software and make some mocks, but I'm glad you like it anyway. Smile
