Hi to all, again looking for solace on my learning vMix jorney.

I've done two live streams now with vMix and definitely thinking about ditching OBS, even though it´s been my main tool for years now.

I come to you again with this question: here on this same forum I received great advice on saving sources and avoid cluttering my inputs window using playlists. I had some video ads and promos (audio only) that I play during my shows and when they're bare inputs it's easily controllable, with playlists I've not been able to reach that level of control I require, for instance, I can't make a playlist element transition back to my main cam, or I haven't yet found the option.

Scenario 1
15+ audio promos
6-10 video ads
Virtual set with two cams
a dozen+ triggers using keyboard (waiting for an akai midi controller)
Input from a XR18 mixer

I play let's say ad 1 from ADS-PLAYLIST, mute my mic input, (yesterday I had an issue due to unmuted mic) how do I make it transition back to my face cam, unmute my mic. Same situation with audio prompts.

I'm sure it can be done, I've created some complex scenarios unthinkable till now in OBS, so I want to know how can I automate those processes?.

Also I have another like-issue, with my Triggers, I use overlays to play those audios and then overlayOff but I want to be able to press let's say D1, play "somos mas" prompt but with the same key stop/rewind/restart the audio prompt's playback -- not Play/pause. IU'm not sure if I do need to use overlays to play audios, I'm doing it like that because it was the only way that I tried that worked.

Any input will be valued greatly

Thanks

Try these Triggers:
OnTransitionIn / AudioOff / your mic Input
OnCompletion / Fade / your face cam Input
OnTransitionOut / AudioOn / your mic Input

You cannot use the same key for "similar" or conflicting functions on the same Input, you would be best to apply a Trigger to Restart the Input 1000ms after transition Out.

Man, you nailed it, that's just what I ended up doing, after struggling to get it working for a while I re-added the inputs, but I like it simple not a clogged up input window, so I started testing and that's exactly what I did.

Yes, Sir, as my transition normally lasts 1000ms, I went for a restart OnTransitionOut after 1500ms worked like a charm.

Thanks for all of the help you guys provide.

Regards.
