Hi Martin,
Could you do me a favour and explain why you went for Replay A and B are always synchronised together?
My thoughts would be that output A and output B need to be independent. This would allow the operator to cue up one replay in output A and then allow them to cue up another replay in output B even while output A is playing out.
My example would be a soccer goal and celebration.
Output A is playing the replay from camera two in slow mo, I then cue up output B from camera three showing the goal scorer doing a double back flip celebration after scoring in slow-mo.
Work flow is director plays output A, when finished he switches and plays output B showing celebration, then when done switches back to live game
Thoughts?

They are synchronised for a few reasons:
1, to allow users to switch between two camera angles during playback just as they would live cameras
2, to make thing simple for single operators.
3, performance
You can queue up two events back to back by selecting them both in the events list and clicking Play Events
Automating this seems a lot better than having to queue up everything manually?
Regards,
Martin

Sounds logical, but a 2 channel output replay system would also have huge advantages.
You could rewind and create another event in channel B while a already created eventlist is playing in channel A.
The football celebration is a good example for that.
Maybe you could make a "synch/unsynch" button and give the operator the chance to use it the way he wants it to use, but I don't think that it's an important update for now. It would be great if Vmix would offer this some time down the road, but there are other things that should be added and improved first.

Yes, the key thing is this is the first version and it's not going to cover
all possible workflows from day one.
The main focus is to make creating instant replays as easy as possible
and I hope we can achieve that in vMix 15.
Regards,
Martin
