A key feature of vMix is the ability to save predefined camera PTZ positions as inputs; then assign keypad shortcuts to activate these inputs. To update the PTZ position, you go to settings for the camera, then the PTZ option, then click on one of the numbered saved positions.

The process for updating the saved camera positions could be greatly improved by making the following simple UI changes.
1) Display the name in addition to the number for the input holding the saved position.
2) Provide visual feedback when the updated position has been saved to the input. (Like flash the field a different color or display the new PTZ coordinates or something.) With the present version of vMix, there is no indication that the change occurred.

+1. This would help to reduce risk of updating the wrong preset.

My favorite way to update the PTZ inputs is to have a shortcut "PTZUpdateVirtualInput" with "Hover" as input. (I have it on a button of the xBox controller I'm using for moving the PTZ.) Then you move your cursor over the input you want to update and hit the shortcut. You even get instant visual feedback, because the thumbnail changes.

+1 I'd also like to see the virtual input itself have an update option in the right-click on the cog. So that way you could simply update it to the current position of the main input.
