So hello! New user, new member here. I searched, but I saw no mention of any sort of telestrator or whiteboard type feature. I have a custom one I designed for my broadcasts, however it doesn't seem to work properly when added to vMix. Ready for the long story? I have a company that webcasts US Curling matches across the US. http://tesn.us We started a few years ago and we have used XSplit for the broadcasting. I dabble in programming, so I created a .Net program for our scoreboards and other graphics. It's highly automated. I also created a flash overlay telestrator. It's very specific for curling. It worked pretty well in XSplit. You can do freehand drawing, draw lines and circles as well as add some custom overlay graphics. Pretty much a standard telestrator. I created an external flash controller toolbar for the overlay where you can control the various options for the input. It "talks" to the overlay flash file through localConnections. Again, works pretty well in XSplit. In vMix, I can add the flash file, and set it as an overlay on an input. Some of the features don't work, specifically the line and freehand drawing. Also moving a drawing around after it's been added. From what I can tell, it doesn't seem to respond to any mousemove commands. It sees the mousedown and mouse up. I have some keyboard options as well. It doesn't look like it "sees" those either. You can see how it's supposed to work, and even play with it here: http://www.tesn.us/tuckistrator.html I would love to somehow get this working in vMix. It's the last hurdle for us to switch over. We have a couple big broadcasts coming up (US Olympic Trials, and 2014 US Nationals). Would really be awesome to get it working before those. Any thoughts? Thanks so much. Feel free to check out the videos from last years nationals on our website. There should be plenty examples of the telestrator in use (as well as the graphics). -Brian Anderson TESN.US ps. I'd be happy to help develop a generic telestrator for vMix (if that helps get this looked into faster :-) )

Hi,
Are you able to send me the flash files for the overlay along with some instructions on how you have them setup?
I should be able to do some tests to see if I can get them working in vMix.
Regards,
Martin

I just switched to vMix from Wirecast 5. I am now trying to find a Telestrator plug-in/ add-on for vMix. This is the only thread I found. I am streaming high school football and basketball and would really like to find a cost effective solution for for a Telestrator. I run one of our cameras and run production on top of the press box and our 2 announcers are down inside the press box. I have a "duplicate" monitor set up for them so they can see my screen and know what is live and what is qued. I was hoping to find some app that they could use either on an iPad or maybe a new touch screen Surface machine.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Tim

Hi! We from Njastad.com saw this request and started developing a new SWF that works with vMix! The way this works: - Add a input (Video, Image whatever) - Open the Multiview settings of that input - Add the SWF to the topmost layer of the multiviews (or antoher if you are looking for another setup) - You can now draw on the source from the input list, Preview window or Active window! We will be putting this SWF live on our website tonight! so stay tuned! Here is a snapshot taken from the active window: http://njastad.com/snapshot.png

I'm sorry we left you hangin, i'll push it out asap. We just went through a lot of testing to make sure it works fine.
