Hi

I'm wondering if "presenter mode" is possible for overlays.


e.g.
The speaker can see the "current" and "next" text but the audience can only see the "current" text.

Thanks

Manually entered or from data source ?

I've looked at both methods

Open to either method.

whne linked to a datasource one can specify the row to display ie title can have data from different rows displayed
so maybe playing with shortcuts or script to advance down the list . problem is there is no way to check which row you are on (say for the first name) or keep track of it i know of

same idea but from external app would be less of an issue

If you have an Excel sheet as a data source, say with two columns like Headline|Text, you can add two columns like nextHeadline|nextText and easily point with a simple cell reference to the contents of the next row. In vMix you can setup a separate title with all four columns for your presenter.

Thanks guys

Do you think my request is an edge case?

Or do you think this should be in features request?


I don't really want to get into script workarounds

Thanks

The solution with Excel does not require any scripting and will work with every vMix version. All you need is the most basic Excel (or OpenOffice, etc.) feature, a cell reference (explained here for example), to enhance your data source. Feel free to ask if you need help.
