Hi folks
So I create a slideshow and I edit the order of 131 slides, so my guest can talk over the story.
1) Fantastic - save the vMix file and when I open it again, the slides have gone out of sequence.
I've done this three times now and I'm getting frustrated by it.
2) Also when I've set the slideshow and brought it in as a layer into a new Input Multi-View the slides initially run okay and then suddenly the 131 slides changes to just a handful of 16!
3) Finally I can't stop the slideshow. No matter if I Cut to the Slideshow Input or when it is in a Multi-View layer it keeps running. I've clicked everything turned off the 'auto play after transition', turned off 'Loop'.
I've rebooted, restarted vMix. What am I doing wrong? The whole slides thing seems to have gone haywire and I'm running out of prep time.
Do I create a new production and start again?
Is this a bug or something?

I've just gone through all images and re-numbered them in sequence and they still don't import in numeric sequence.
This is a nightmare

Have you Right Clicked the Input for the slideshow and gone to SlideShow Settings?

I am assuming that you are using a PowerPoint input. To reorder (and keep it) do the reorder in PP, save then reload the input in vMix. To be able to manually control the slide deck, open the SlideShow settings and set the duration to 0.

Yes I have right-clicked and gone to Slideshow settings, which are as they should be.
No I am not using Power Point, purely slides entered using the slideshow input.
What I have done is started an entirely new vMix program and found that the slides (numerically named) have imported in order, so I am resolved to building the show from scratch once again.
The only thing which I can think of which may have influenced this problem was that my Midi controller had couple of buttons which did the same thing. I wonder would Midi influence the error I wonder?

Have you ever tried re-ordering the slides manually in SlideShow Settings by dragging them in the proper order?
I have done that with a small list of slides and they stay in the correct order after saving everything as a Pre-Set.

This converts the slides into images. Try my tip above...it works.

Quote:To use this input you have to have PowerPoint on your machine Don't think so Ask as OP has stated he is not using PP. Guess the confusion is here the slideshow input is the Photos input not the pp input and just loading a folder of images(slides). I don't have pp and that input works pretty well. something else must be interfering with the order of his images like maybe does to his Midi controller OP has mentioned also

So I have created the whole program again from scratch and double checked there are no Midi duplications and so far it is all working fine.
I gave all the slides a numeric number and they imported form the folder correctly.
Until I actually speak with the subject I'm not sure about if we need to change the order of the slides it will happen again. I guess I'll take a back up copy just in case.
Otherwise the whole thing is running off my Novation Pad and so far it looks okay.....
