Got it. Yeah, I knew that method from reading about it, but I was wondering if I could change it dynamically on the fly live during my stream.

Sounds like I can't. No worries. Thanks for the reply.

Sorry, I've been busy with renovations this summer. Not much time for coding. Hopefully get back to it soon...

cheers,

I can't find a solution in managing tally status

If i create a button, and I assign to it an AUDIO device, the tally "light" works fine, no problem
But if I create a script, and i turn on/off the same AUDIO device with the script, of course the "light" can't be engaged

Is there a way to "connect" the "tally light" status without connecting the button directly to a device?
OR
Is there a way to connect the button to a device AND to launch a script?
OR
any turnaround to manage the button colo/content inside a script (even better)?

Thank you very much

i will start to take a look...
but it is not a real solution in my opinion
but thank you of course

with this approach youll change the color of a rectangle in a TITLE
NOT in the PANEL

which actually is what i am looking for

but, of course, thank you

If you're open to switching to your browser, the Web Controller has a title editor.

If you're using the same title input, which it sounds like you are, you can even add a favorite icon to your iPad's home screen to take you directly to the editor for that title.

hey,...any updates yet?

Hello @roguert, first of all I would like to thank you for the vmix panel builder.
I think it's just great tool and I can't understand why Vmix doesn't come with something like this already. I can't imagine doing complex and flexible events without it.

I was pleased to see today that some new shortcuts (e.g. overlays in mix2+) already work out of the box with vmix 28.

Since you might now be thinking of making some adjustments for vmix 28, I wanted to give you a few suggestions for improvements. Perhaps one or two of them will be of interest to you and not too difficult to implement.

1) Copying buttons from a second open instance of the Panel Builder.
I know you can attach entire pages, but I host different events with different requirements that are constantly changing, so it would be very practical and efficient if you could open another template in a second instance and then simply copy and paste individual buttons.

2) Test whether inputs in buttons are available via the API + highlighting of errors
In complex environments, when taking over functions from other templates or when cleaning up Vmix presets, it often happens that the input of a button no longer matches. A function to check and highlight the missing links would save a lot of time and sources of error.

3) A “nice to have” would also be a drop-down list for the companion buttons. First you select the page and then a list of all possible buttons appears.

4) A small problem that I keep running into is that the Panel Builder window does not open visibly. I help myself by dragging the window onto the screen using the Windows snap function. I could imagine that it is because I use different sized touchscreens on my laptop. In the studio 24“ touch and 48” main and on the road 13“ touch and 27” main.

5) Tally for active title - “SelectTitlePreset”. I think you once mentioned that the API doesn't provide this information. Is that still the case?

One question: Am I allowed to advertise the PanelBuilder in Companion circles? I think that it would often be a flexible option for pure Companion users as well.

Thanks again for all your hard work.
