I've got an issue with activators. I'd like to setup my stream deck so that the input is green when not in preview nor live, yellow when in preview, and red when live. However, if I add the Default as green, the InputPreview as yellow, then the Input as red, the key on the streamdeck turns green when the input is selected for preview and red when live. Based on the rules, it should be yellow if in preview. Is this a bug?

No, only one activator can be assigned to a button at the time. (besides default)

We will fix the missing All On/Off options, however I just tested Output 4
and can turn off all overlay channels including 4 just fine, so you may need to provide specific steps
to replicate.

Hello

I spent a day with the new replay system. Instant Replay Controller is detached from the main interface and has its own monitor. These are my findings so far.

After selecting a new event, select/deselect camera angles or scrubbing thru the recording, every time the audio level meter is shown beside the A/B preview window for a short moment. That's confusing for the operator because it makes no real sense.

There is a new option "Play audio when speed is below 100%". If I disable this option, set speed to 75% and play an event, the audio level meter is shown beside the A/B preview window. That's also confusing for the operator (no audio should play). The visibility of the audio level meter should be linked to the mentioned setting.

If I select one of the outputs 1-4 as a replay source, the text of the different labels (angle columns, preview split) is also Output 1-4. I would prefer having the name of the routed input there. Or a combination like "Output 1 (the name of the input)". The reason is that the director normally calls the camera number (which is visible in his multiview) and he has no clue about which camera is routed to which output.

A/B split mode: If I'm working in channel A, it should be better visible that channel A is selected. Currently only the small A button is set to green. I would prefer to have a more visible indicator. One idea could be that the blue textbox below the A preview window is also changing to green. The same when channel B is selected.

A/B split mode: If an event is playing in a channel, the highlighted event should also change its color to red (not stay orange). So it's more clear for an operator that there is currently a playing event.

A/B split mode: In my opinion the speed setting should not be individual between A and B. It should always be the same.

A/B split mode: I don't get the workflow how channel B should be switched onair.
- Select A
- Create event in A
- Select camera angles in A
- Press "Play events" -> A is onair
- Select B
- Create another event in B, adjust an already existing event
- And now, how to switch to B when A is finished?
What was the underlying workflow to implement the A/B split?

Thanks for considering some ideas!

Best regards,
Patrick

Did some testing uploading Replay Exported video clips to various social media with mixed results.

• Twitter would not accept a MP4 video clip exported from Replay. Not in HQ or Med format. Twitter routinely does not accept AVI.

• Facebook will accept, post and play a MP4 clip. Facebook will accept vMix AVI clip exported from Replay, but Facebook never notifies that it is available for viewing. Tried a "repaired" vMix AVI video clip with same result. When checking the list of Facebook Video files that were uploaded, Facebook shows the AVI file but will not play it: "Sorry, we're having trouble playing this video."

• LinkedIn will accept, post and play a MP4 clip. LinkedIn does not accept AVI.

• YouTube will accept, post and play both a MP4 clips. YouTube accepted, but did not process the vMix AVI clip. "Processing abandoned. The video could not be processed."

vMix 24.0.0.37 beta released

https://cdn.vmix.com/download/vmix24preview.exe

* Added support for custom Names on Audio Buses
* Added checkbox in Settings -> Audio "Hide Audio Mixers based on selected Category"
* Added support for saving scripts in local preset, similar to how shortcuts work.
* Fixed SRT indicator button may not always turn red on successful connection.
* Added support for setting quality on vMix AVI in Recording and MultiCorder. HQ is the default and same as prior releases, SQ and LQ
offer smaller file sizes at lower quality.

* Added fix for memory leak / performance issue when using apps like Companion which open a new connection each time when polling.

* Fixed All On/Off Overlay toggle missing in Settings -> Outputs

with the latest version a performance problem seems to have been solved.

thanks!

I played around with the A/B split mode again and discussed this with other people, which are professional replay operators with other systems.

Possible workflow:
1) director is on camera 1
2) replay operator selects channel A
3) replay operator creates an event and selects cam 2 and 3
4) replay operator starts event with shortcut "ReplayPlaySelectedEvent"
5) director takes replay channel A onair (or director has a macro to take channel A onair and to start playing it)
6) replay operator selects channel B
7) replay operator prepares another event and selects cam 4
8) as soon all events on channel A are played, replay operator switches/fades the prepared event from channel B to channel A and the event is started automatically with "ReplayPlaySelectedEvent" (so the onair channel is still channel A)
9) as soon channel A is finished playing, the director takes camera 1 onair

But such a workflow needs at least two additions to the redesigned replay system.
- In split mode, A and B should have the behaviour of a preview and program bus, where A is program and B is preview. The replay operator can prepare an event in B (preview) and switch it to A (program) as needed with the configured event transition.
- When an event is played with shortcut "ReplayPlaySelectedEvent", the event should not stop after the last angle is played. The event should continue to play out so that the replay operator or director has time to switch to the prepared event without having a freezed frame. It looks much better this way. In other replay systems this is normally a configuration option: stop or continous play after mark out point.

Such a workflow would give us great opportunities for our productions, especially for live sports. Thank you very much for checking my idea.

Best ragards,

This is already an option in the replay settings...

Sorry about that. I wasn't aware of this setting there.
