I tried to create a custom lower third in XAML, unfortunately I failed.
It would be great if you could help me with that, I'm a Newbie so I assume that I made something wrong.

In theory this lower third should combine some animation with a ticker functionality.
I attached the XAML to this Topic.

I want to achieve below solution.
1) Animation of the rectangels should be shown.
2) After animation is done the ticker should appear, but only in the blue rectangle.
3) With fade out the text should disappear and fade out animation should start.

The animation part is working fine, but as soon I add the ticker object the first animation (red rectangle) is running in a loop.

I would be really great if somebody of you could help me, I would need it for a stream on Tuesday.

Many thanks in advance.
Chris

Standard the first storyboard will be treated as the start animation and the second the finish animation (overlay on/Off)
seems you have a storyboard within a storyboard
YOu specified the redblue part as repeating forever

Hi doggy, many thanks for your help. This is what I also assumed but I have no Idea how to fix the looping.
Please can you give me a hint how I can fix this.

NOT RepeatBehavior="Forever" ;-)

There are plenty of simple XAML animation examples (Google) to help you understand the basic process

We've done a bunch of Xaml stuff thanks to some tips from Doggy. It's opened up all sorts of options. One thing that would be good to know is how do you stop the titles from being "Ofline" when you open up a preset in vMix? It's such a pain in the butt having to re-add them in everytime. Have you guys come up against this?

Thanks!

@ nomski

Was the preset saved with the XAML Input in Question?
AFAIK, vMix remembers the 'original' saved path to Inputs when saved as a new preset, although I could be wrong on this if it is outside of vMix's default locations...
If the path/folder changes at any point after that, you will need to manually search/find each Input that vMix can't find, which I agree is a major PITA.

This was also my first guessing, but when I remove the RepeatBehavior it has no effect.
The first animation is still looping.

I guess it will be easier for me to skip the ticker and work with standard TextBlock.

Many thanks anyhow.

The ticker IS a textblock that is animated (changes position )
a animation timeline (storyboard) can not be single or repeated forever at the same time
As you are trying a standard title animation you only have access to 2 animations , a start and end one ( overlay on /off)

mixing timed and forever animations is a bit tricky (sorry i also program by trial and error and google ;-) ) and past the basic vMix title animation

What is your goal? purpose of the title?

Again many thanks for helping me.
I attached a working XAML file, this contains the animation that I already have.

In addition I would like to have a ticker (right to left) within the blue rectangle.

First the animation should be started, as soon the IN animation is completed, the ticker should be displayed.

For the OUT transition, the ticker should be disappear (maybe a fade out) and afterwards the OUT animation of the 2 rectangles should start.
