How to use Shortcuts with Mix inputs

Hi there,
I'm trying to understand how to call a transition in a Mix input using shortcuts. The vMix user guide says:
The following shortcuts can be used with an optional Mix parameter, where 1 is equal to the main mix in vMix and 2 is equal to the first Mix input.
PreviewInput ActiveInput Fade, Zoom, Wipe etc
If I have a Mix input with layer 5 on Preview and layer 6 on Output, which would be the shortcut to FADE/MERGE/CUT between them instead of having to click with my mouse on the button right next to the Mix input?
Thank you!

It always helps to be clear in asking questions! you will need to write a script in order to check and decide what to do when your options are set and have a (existing) function perform the task you want to happen. This is NOT what the title of the post implies at all. Functions have the same basic structure as what has to be defined when creating a shortcut Search this forum for scripting

@ samermachine The Shortcuts to use are the same as for the main vMix Output mix, you simply need to select from the dropdown which mix the Shortcut applies to when creating the Shortcut. Mix 1 = Main vMix Output mix Mix 2 = 1st sub-mix "Mix" Input Mix 3 = 2nd sub-mix "Mix" Input Mix 4 = 3rd sub-mix "Mix" Input https://www.vmix.com/help23/Mix.htmlIce

I think what might be confusing (at least as confusing as your combination of post title and post ;-) )is that the Main Mix ("Mix 1") is Mix=0 in scripting, "Mix 2" is Mix=1 in scripting...
So, for Mix 2: Function=Cut&Mix=1

5 years later but since I'm doing this right now with a streamdeck here's how I'm doing it with shortcuts. My Mix2 is what I'm targeting here to switch between the two inputs. When this is triggered it takes whatever is in Mix2's preview and cuts it to Mix2's output, and puts what was in output to preview.  Screenshot 2025-06-05 104051.png (101kb) downloaded 10 time(s).
