+# Timer usage examples
+Exampls below illustrate how to use `:start_timer`, `:timer_interval` and `:stop_timer` actions on the example of `Membrane.Source`, but the API looks the same for all kinds of the Membrane Components
+
+### Emit empty buffer every 100 milliseconds
+```elixir
+defmodule MySource do
+  use Membrane.Source
+
+  def_output_pad :output, accepted_format: SomeFormat
+
+  @impl true
+  def handle_init(_ctx, _opts), do: {[], %{}}
+
+  @impl true
+  def handle_playing(_ctx, state) do
+    interval_in_millis = 100
+    interval = Membrane.Time.milliseconds(interval_in_millis)
+
+    actions = [
+      stream_format: %SomeFormat{},
+      start_timer: {:some_timer, interval}
+    ]
+
+    {actions, state}
+  end
+
+  @impl true
+  def handle_tick(:some_timer, _ctx, state) do
+    buffer = %Membrane.Buffer{payload: ""}
+    actions = [buffer: {:output, buffer}]
+    {actions, state}
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Emit empty buffer every 100 millisecond if parent hasn't stopped you
+The source below accepts following notifications from the parent: 
+ - `:pause` - after receiving it the source will pause sending buffers. The paused soure can be resumed again.
+ - `:resume` - resumes sending buffers from the paused source.
+ - `:stop` - the stopped source won't send any buffer again.
+
+```elixir
