Hi,

I would like to use OTS graphics for our 3 cam news show. I would like for OTS graphic to appear over the right shoulder of anchor 1 on cam 1, and a different OTS graphic to appear over the left shoulder of anchor 2 on cam 3. When one cam is live, I would like for the OTS graphic to change to the next one on the other camera (the one not on air). Any suggestions on how to achieve this utilizing vMix?

The best way would be the only way: layers.

I agree with layers and then by using triggers on the input cam 1 like "on transition in"--> select the proper next graphic item

Yes, I understand you put the OTS graphic up with layers. What I am trying to figure out is how can I utilize only vmix to change the graphic for the camera that is not live.

Cam 1 On air- OTS Graphic 1
Cam 3 On air- OTS Graphic 2 (this is when I want to change graphic 1 to graphic 3)
Cam 1 On air- OTS Graphic 3

I hope that makes sense.

I am trying to keep everything in vmix without using an external computer.

@nikosman88 - If I have 15 OTS graphics, do I just have to make a new input for each graphic? I know I can make a list, but I have not been able to find a way to "go to next" on that list using triggers.

The shortcut is "NextItem"
