Hi.

I would love to be able to choose which mix's main and preview the multiview would show.

Sometimes I have an dedicated person doing just the camera mix while I mix everything else in vMix, like PIP's etc...
The person doing the camera mix will usually get a monitor showing the cameras (fullscreen from vMix) and a StreamDeck with Companion for control. This way we don't need a dedicated videomixer.
multiview_edit.jpg (569kb) downloaded 0 time(s).
A second Multiview would also be nice.


And before you all say, you can make your own multiview with the multilayers function in vMix, well Yes, but No because you won't get the mix's preview.

This makes for a second future request:
Could we be able to choose a mix's preview as a layer in the MultiLayer function.
This way you could make your own multiview. You could even make framing overlays. Very flexible!

MultiLayer - Mix Preview_edit.jpg (416kb) downloaded 0 time(s).
And maybe also be able to add audiometer and a titlebar.

Last option would be to make all the previews addable as inputs.

What do you think?

What is the use of having the Mix previews in a multiview besides knowing what is in their preview as a reference shown on a monitor or such

The API XML contains the input numbers of their preview inputs so retrieving that is simple
Then using the SetLayer you can set those in a Mutiview
Scripting that one can automate a full (yes your own ;-) ) multiview and even adding their names to it etc

Why make the previews adaptable as inputs while they are allready there as exisitng inputs ?

What I Think? WHY?

Hi.

Scripting is simple for some, but not for everyone.
If I want to make a multiview with preview for a mix which is not the main mix, I should not have to do scripting.
Being able to design your own multiview, just adds to vMix's flexibility, which is one of the things I love most about vMix.

But you can design your own Multiview ! Callng it in fullscreen will be by the input # instead of the "Multiview"

part of its flexibility is the use of scripts catering to each's specific needs instead of a one for all ;-) not to mention the tons of shortcuts, dynakic inputs/values etc

but that's just me


btw if you put the URL as "http://127.0.0.1:8088/api" and the xpath as "//mix" in a XML datasource Manager you have it by the numbers ;-)

It seems like doing a personalized multiview can impact the computer performance MORE than using the built-it multiview. Is that true?
I too find the Vmix multiview too limiting and very little customizable
thanks 1 user thanked robert5521 for this useful post.
