In playing around with the Virtual Sets, (as discussed here)
I am wondering if there is a "Shortcut" for each camera view? (Close up, medium shot and wide)
I was not able to find one.
I don't tend to use the Virtual Sets, but if I did, I would want to use the keyboard and not the mouse to change 'views'.

The closest I could find was "SetMultiViewOverlay" but that merely changes one overlay channel input in 'MultiView'
(really neat glad I found that)

I realize the list of "Shortcuts" is growing all the time and I thought perhaps this one already existed (maybe it does, I just haven't figured out which one).
In any event, for those using 'Virtual Sets', I think the addition of such shortcuts would be beneficial.

@ doggy

Thanks for the insight...
Actually, the 'Zoom' transition is not correct, but using 'Fade' does work to transition zoom with 'Virtual Sets'.
How cool is that!
I knew the 'Shortcut' must have existed.

@ doggy

Not exactly sure, for me the 'Zoom' transition zooms out to 'infinity' and then back in to full screen (which is what I would expect).
The 'Fade' transition performs the same as clicking one of the camera views and zoom transitions to that view (which is a little counter intuitive).
In any event, I'm glad you pointed me in that direction and figured out the 'solution'.

Not sure how one would use "Fade" (or Zoom).
In any case, isn't it the "SelectIndex" shortcut that you are after?

@ Richard

I tried the "SelectIndex" function, but I don't know the correct parameters (Input,Value) and vMix returned an "Invalid Parameter" error message for anything I typed.

I don't know why the "Fade" function works but it does and it appears to be designed this way as it is a more directed way than the "SelectIndex" (options in dropdown menu) so I am inclined to 'GO with it' as a simple and effective solution.

just add the number of of the box (4 of those) you want to put on air.
