Hello,

Basically I made a GT title to be able to change a logo without having the need to create a playlist or to manually change the file each time.
I made 20 presets for 20 different logos, my idea was to right click the Title in vmix so I could choose between the logos. Thus I created 20 presets in the title editor.

But when I right click on the title in vmix, the names are too long "D:\Free ligue1\01_Assets\01_Logo_clubs\02_Logos_validés\000 - logos clubs\LOGO". It's so long I cant see the name of the file.
Capture.PNG (22kb) downloaded 1 time(s).


Is there a way to shorten the preset name to just the file name ?

Don't put your files so deep in subdirectories and give everything shorter names (abriviations)

or use datasources with only the logo name and put the location in the format section of the datasource connections

see @ around 3 mins in

Thanks for your reply but seeing as we have many different projects and such we have to have many sub directories.
I know about datasource connections and do not want to use it for this particular case.

Anyway having all the path displayed is kinda useless as you just want the preset to be loaded.

I have a base folder where my "clients" folder is. The structure in clients subdirectories is always the same. Then I wrote a Powershell script that grabs all the data and also the filenames. Then you get CSV which vMix can use. Attach a Streamdeck to it and done.
