I have part of it: the SelectIndex command but I don't know how to choose the transition effect (I'm not sure it's possible)


With this command it will switch to selected preset using the current speed settings

Where value can be : 1, 2, 3 or 4 for CloseUp, Mediumshot, Full, Custom

I just checked for the transition. Your shortcut won't do a fade 1000 if another transition type is selected in the virtualset

Hi Johan

I really don't understand the question.

Do you want to know if there is a way to use transition effects when using setMultiViewOverlay command? I don't think so, well I never could...

The correct command is:

?Function=setMultiViewOverlay&Input=22&Value=1,10

where:
22 is your multiview input number
1 is the overlay number
10 is the new input number to use as overlay 1 in multiview 22

Please explain better what your problem is if I did not answer your question

Here is a explanation what I want to do:
I want to create an input22 that fades between several inputs (2 cameras,output1, and a PIP combination between the output and a camera), and record this input 22
So I want to record not only output1 ! Output1 is live showed at the projector in the aula.

I want to control the input with a tablet with the API commands. (setrecordInput doesn't exist in the api)

Dear Dwam,
I am sending my commands with a gui on a iPad.
And everything is working now, but I am still missing the fade effects between the multiview inputs.

@Mathijs
Can you explain a little bit more your idea, with the virtual inputs ?

I found out merge works only on the program.

would it be possible with scripting ?
make a fade function: slowly adjust the alpha channel of the inputs.
something like below i remember from my "basic" past (25 years ago):

var x=0
for x= x+1
wait 10
SetAlpha input11,x
if x=100 then stop script
next x

@ JohanSpijker

Not sure I fully understand what you "need", but a possible "workaround" for applying a 'Fade' between "Virtual Set" Zoom positions is to create a 'Virtual Copy' of said Input and 'Transition' ('Fade' in this case) between the two Inputs to the Zoom position you desire.
As DWAM indicates, the "Virtual Set" currently only allows for 'Zoom' or 'Cut' transitions between views, whereas, the vMix "Transitions" will only function between two different Inputs, even if one is a 'Virtual Copy' of the other, hence a possible workaround.

@ DWAM

Yes, that is why I am not clear on exactly what Johan wants or how or why "Input22" differs from "Output1" for recording purposes, or why it's being mentioned in "3rd Party Software and Development", I'm guessing he's looking for a possible solution with vMixUTC, but without more definitive parameters, it's only possible to offer generalized suggestions that may meet his requirements or at least open the door to an alternate approach that maybe he is not aware of.
In any event, the 'Virtual Set' feature is basically an extension of the 'MultiView' feature, so, as you say, either option may work in that capacity, but if "our" understanding is correct, it sounds like he needs a "versatile switcher within the switcher" (which is something I believe we have addressed before in another thread) and the only way to accomplish that currently with vMix, as you stated earlier, is with a second PC running vMix (or competent switcher) as well...

Hi Johan

I'm really not sure you can do this, even by scripting.

To me, SetAlpha might be pretty close to a fade effect except such a script will only be effective for the new input when normally a fade should combine the appearrance of new input and the disappearance of the old one. However, it's pretty close.

For your script I think you should use VB.net
http://www.vmix.com/help19/VBNetScripting.html

But you can also try using any other language that would run inside a webpage for example

The error message says that x is not correctly declared/defined. I think it should be an "integer", not simply "var". This code doesn't look like VB to me.
