Don't know if it is possible, but I want an input as overlay for example every 60 seconds. Now I have created a shortcut for this, but when I don''t push that button the input is not shown as overlay!

@ Mari

The "Trigger" feature will work for this, BUT you would have to set-up a "Trigger" for each instance
(i.e. an hour show would require a series of 60 "Triggers"),
not exactly convenient or practical, but possible.
I have not played with the "3rd Party Software" vMixUTC, but I would seriously consider taking DWAM's advice (he has some extensive experience with it) and look into your options there if you are looking at an extended or continuous use of such 'automation'.

A very basic way to do it is to create a webpage that reloads every 60 seconds. There are dozens of way to do this with HTML or javascript or any web language like ASP, PHP and so on.

This webpage can then send the API command for the overlay.
An easy way is to use a function in javascript with "window.location=myURL;"
where myURL is the command to send to vMix

Now the choice of the command depends on what you really want to do in vMix. I guess you just don't want to send the same overlay every 60 sec and that you probably want to remove the overlay after a period of time. So it has to be adapted the way you want.

For vMixUTC, the idea is to create a countdown timer widget and to define an internal command name in the "OnStop" field.
Then to create a button widget using this command name in the "link" area of the "execute" section. This button also needs a "script" where the "command" will be one for selecting overlay behaviour type and associating it to any of your inputs.

Practicaly it's better to start creating the button and to make sure it works the way you want when pressed manually.
When ok, add the timer to automate the process.

I just found an easier way to it vMixUTC with only 2 buttons

- Create button like screencap1
> tick the execute box and fill name with "DoIt1"
> adapt the overlay for your input
> in my example, it activates my xaml input on overlay 2, waits for 5 sec, removes it, waits for 5 sec and calls button #2

When you have this first button, click the small icon called "copy widget" > it creates a second button with same settings (screencap2)
> change the execute name to "DoIt2"
> change the last command "ExecLink" to "DoIt1"

So basically, button 1 runs and calls button 2 which runs and calls button 1 and so on.

Adapt to your values and let it run...

Enjoy!

Here is another method with 2 buttons and a countdown timer. Every 10 sec it toggles overlay 2. The Push2Start button starts the loop.
