I am trying to set up a video to transition out on the last second - to a two shot automatically

My trigger is set as

ONTRANSITIONOUT FADE TWO SHOT DURATION 500 DELAY 500

To me this means - on the last 1/2 second transition out to the two shot - and make that transition last a 1/2 second.

But nothing is happening.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Ralph

you should use OnCompletion for such a trigger.

But wouldn't completion be just that? On completion? I would like it to transition with about a second left in the video.

Or is there a way to set the completion time?

if you choose a fade transition for OnCompletion, by definition, the fade will start before it's too late (half the indicated duration).

I don't understand that reply -

Is there a way to define when the transition takes place? An out point so to speak?

What you're trying to do here is not very logical. If you want auto switching at a precise moment in your video, just define a mark Out or prepare your video for what you need. Or do it manually...

This is no trigger based on video duration in vMix.

Maybe I am not understanding the basics of triggers in general.

Check the doc : https://www.vmix.com/help20/Triggers.html

Also check how to use Markers for video playout.

What you're trying to do is impossible and you haven't understood the trigger adjustments.

A trigger is exactly what the name suggests, so if you choose 'on completion' that's the trigger point.

DURATION 500 DELAY 500 - this means the action (fade, wipe etc) duration is 500 milliseconds and the delay means it will happen 500 milliseconds AFTER the trigger point.

So you're asking it to do a half second fade half a second after the VT has finished.

One way to do this is to use the On transition in trigger, set the delay for the end minus the transition duration and then call a Keypress. Setup the Keypress shortcut to fade with Preview or whatever. I couldn't get the transition in trigger to directly call a fade.

vMix should automatically back time the on completion transition trigger by the transition duration. It's smoother not transitioning from a freeze and mute audio. Maybe a feature request?
