this is a total novice question but does anyone know how i get this PTZ Zoom working on whatever is in the vMix output window ?
API.Function("PTZZoomIn",Input:="Video1")
when i have "Video1" it works but if i change it to Input:="Active" it doesnt do anything ? I thought the output window was called "Active" but i also tried "Output" and still nothing ?? I also tried Input:="Preview" to see if it worked in the preview window but no luck there either... not sure where im going wrong ??
appreciate any help..

in your script check which (PTZ)camera is active and put that as your input in the function

i dont want the PTZ to only work on one Input source though i want it to work with whatever Input is in the output window..
if i use this web command instead... Function=PTZZoomIn then it will always zoom the Preview window no matter which Input is displayed.. but i cant get it to work for the output..
if i use Function=PTZZoomIn&Input=Active it does nothing ??

an input has to be connected as a (Virtual) PTZ first n order to even respond to a PTZ command a good idea is to check if it actually works as a shortcut first (thye are the same functions anyway) and why not use a regular zoom command?

it works fine as regular shortcut.. I have zoom in and zoom out mapped to two joystick buttons on the output window and any inputs that are showing in the output window zoom perfectly when i press those buttons..
do you see any problem with this command ?
API.Function("PTZZoomIn",Input:="Active")
Are you allowed to specify "Active" as the input to send the function to the main output window ?

where is the speed value ? ( check what is needed when you create it as a shortcut)

the speed value doesnt matter.. if you leave it out it uses the default setting.. but i have put it in also and it makes no difference..
when i use this command it zooms "Video1" whether it is in the preview or output windows (like you would expect)
API.Function("PTZZoomIn",Input:="Video1")
when i use this to try and specify only zoom for the output window it does nothing..
API.Function("PTZZoomIn",Input:="Active")
If i use this to try and specify zoom for the preview window it also does nothing..
API.Function("PTZZoomIn",Input:="Preview")
however when i use this command it will zoom whatever is showing in preview window.
Function=PTZZoomIn
But then if i use this to try and specify zoom for the output window it again does nothing..
Function=PTZZoomIn&Input=Active
so when i set the command... Function=PTZZoomIn
it works exactly how i would like but its in the preview window whereas i want the zoom to work exclusively on the output window..
