Hello

I'm using vmix with imported CSV files to provide title graphics for live broadcast. It would be really helpful if vmix would monitor the imported file for changes and update accordingly. At present if I want to edit a title, I either need to make changes within vmix, or clear and re-import the CSV.

Both of these methods require access to the vmix machine, and since the director is operating graphics and using it for overlaying a live 'bug' we're working in each other's way. If vmix would monitor the file for changes and update, i could edit the file over the network from another machine.

Many Thanks

Is possible in various ways

- with a title that at regular intervals reads a csv( or any other) file to update the title. ( some code behind scripting )
- with an external program doing the same with incorporated httprequests see post

There are numerous posts in the forum regarding this subject.

Admin posted one that autoupdates an image file HERE. change code to read your file and update the title

@ lampywithacamera

I can fully appreciate the challenges of needing to work both within and outside of vMix simultaneously.
May I suggest altering your workflow slightly to accommodate some of vMix's 'Dynamic' abilities. I think Tom Sinclair illustrates it best in this video:
