First and foremost I want to say THANKS to vMix and this community.
I have been able to do 6 weeks of a live show because of both.
The vMix support teams has been amazing, even when I have been a dummy, d'oh!!!
I also want to let you know that this community has been awesome.
Last but not least BIG THANKS to Tom Sinclair of Streaming Idiots and I am officially
1 Guy with
1 PC
and I am working on 1 Awesome Show, Flowshop.
Here is the location in case you want to check it out, I do a Facebook live show every Thursday at 1PM PST.
I take that show and edit it for the next week on YouTube.

Now off to a question that may actually be a feature request.
Most productions I have worked with, I do live AV work, they will 'Frame Buffer' or 'Still Store' the PowerPoint image so that it is frozen on screen.
This allows them to change the order of the PowerPoint on the fly if necessary.
I know I can save a still image.
I know I can put that in a folder that I use in my production.
Unfortunately it is not very 'easy' to set that up unless I am missing something.
So that is the question 'How can you do this easily?'

I was hoping for a simple 'FREEZE' button that would freeze the image before overlay.
That way the overlay could continue independent of the freeze.

I am on the HD Basic version and believe it or not I have been able to do a TON with it.
I am looking forward to purchasing a more advanced version in the future except I am unable to do that at this time.
So please keep this in mind that I may not have a feature you have as I am at the entry level purchased product.

You guys ROCK and thanks a lot for your help in advance.

Maybe the solution is to have a selectable menu (Right Click) on the Snapshot button, lower right of the interface that would allow you choose the input to snapshot. To cope with many inputs it might be limited to Output & Preview. So the worklow to capture an image without overlay would be to put the input into Preview, hit the camera button.
