Thanks for your help, we can now get this fixed in the next update.
In the meantime, if you disable all buses after B multiple Zoom inputs should work as expected for now.
Awesome - good work, and happy to help.
While I have your ear, are there any thoughts on "flattening" inputs when adding it as a layer on another input? Not a bug as such, but very annoying the way it works. Appreciate it's probably not one for v27 now unless it is an easy thing to change!
Here's how to repeat:
1) Start with a fresh project
2) Add an input of a video. This will be input 1.
3) Add an input of a colour - let's go for yellow, it's so pretty! This will be Input 2.
4) On Input 2, add Input 1 as a layer (Layer 1, why not) and make it 75% zoom
5) Add a new input of another colour (purple?). This will be Input 3.
6) On input 3, add Input 2 as a layer and then crop it to a point inside the 75% video.
You'll notice the yellow colour crops, but not the video on its layer.
Using a "Flattened" (to use a Photoshop term in lieu of a better phrase) version of an input when adding it as a layer on another input would solve this. Indeed, putting input 2 through a mix input and then adding the mix input as the layer on input 3, DOES solve this issue, because the mix input flattens it all down.
Our use case is thus:
- We have (say) 12 contributors on a mix of vMixCall, Teams, Zoom and live camera shots in our studio.
- For each person, we have a colour input with their actual source (vMixCall5 or Zoom7, for example) set as layer 1 on that colour input.
- The advantage of this is that in our box presets (1 box, 2 box, 9 box, person plus PowerPoint box, etc) we only need to set the CHRISTOPHER layer on each, and can then easily change where Christopher comes from by changing the layer on one input, which then updates on every box preset without having to go into all 15 of them and tell it that Christopher is on Camera 3.
- However, we are then unable to properly crop Christopher (and everyone else's inputs) into a square box as the layer doesn't crop with the input.
We do not have enough spare mixes to put everyone on their own mix input (as we use 5 for other things).
We have got around this so far by using box templates with transparent sections, which means that the image hides the uncropped part, but that means that we cannot use merges.
Hope this makes sense, if not I can make a video showing our use case and the problem.
Thanks for listening!
