Hi DWAM,
no, was fooling around with Panasonic, Ross and Analog Way Mixers :-) Corona lead me to cope with those online and streaming tools... which is fine but a new world to discover
thanks so far!
API.function("setpanX",Input:=2, Value:="+0.05") just defined the final position of my image on X axis but not to repeated steps by 0.05

Thanks DWAM & doggy,
that helped again!
No I proceeded to the next step and combined my x-axis control with a midi knob (KORG control Studio).
That works quite fine but the steps in the movement are a bit to coarse for my taste.
a 0,005 step is cool.
Now my next thougt... The midi knob sends "speed" information 0-127. Is there a way to connect certain "speed" values with a position change? e.g. "speed" 68-127 step +0.005 "speed" 67-0 step -0.005
like: "get value" MIDICC 1:13 (that´s the knob used) for value =68-127, API.function("SetPanx", input:=xy, value:="+=0.005") for value =67-0; API.function("SetPanx", input:=xy, value:="-=0.005")

I don't think Midi Control Change can handle value ranges like 0-63 or 64-128 (to be confirmed) when using the "shortcuts" interface in vMix.
However setting this knob to activate a "script" designed to allow speed control (with a "for" loop) would be my first idea to work on. This would even allow to set dynamic (linear or logarithmic) speeds according to the knob value...

In some cases i use many video-inputs with "NO Restart after transition" - only start (and some pause) - on training this videos may stay on another time, but before starting main session i needed to manually restart this video to start position. Can i get in script list of video-inputs and set it to start position ? This script i can assist to key-button and press it before translation-workprocess

Wouldn't it be much simpler to simply use the Restart after transition option ? Or simply add a trigger to force restart on transition ?

No, i use 1 input-video in many another - multiview, virtual set and other. And i need to switch between this. If i set checkbox "restart after transition" - my video restarted every time on switch

You want to transition to another input when a Photo Input (slideshow) has finished displaying all your images. This can be done with a OnCompletion trigger But this trigger does not work when the photos input is part of a multiview Script to the rescue ! Code:'Copy all this into a new script, name the script and save
'replace 13 with the input number of our Photos
'replace 14 with the input number you want to switch to
'trigger in your multiview to run the script (ontransitionin - scriptstart - name of script)
dim PhotoCompleted as string = ""
sleep(1000) 'a bit of delay to make sure the transition has finished, can be set in the trigger also
do while true
dim xml as string = API.XML()
dim x as new system.xml.xmldocument
x.loadxml(xml)
PhotoCompleted = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[13]/@state").InnerText)
if PhotoCompleted = "Completed"
API.Function("Fade",Input:="14",Duration:="500" ) , or any other function one wants to perform after all photos have been displayed
exit do
end if
sleep(100)
loop
Edit: added the duration option to the transition

I've been trying to update a Playback Video timer script I found on this forum. Many thanks to the whomever posted first.
I would like to update script to reflect proper countdown in a markout point has been applied.
My problem is I can't figure out how to test if markout node exists in the XML file. I've gone to several paths with xpath without success.
Here's the pertinent code
'Dump XML from API
dim xml as string = API.XML() dim x as new system.xml.xmldocument x.loadxml(xml)
'test if markout node referenced below exists
????
' use mark_out point instead of duration for timer
mark_out = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@number='"& activeinput &"']/@markout").Value)
Any assistance is appreciated. I'm doing fairy well with scripting in general but the XML manipulation is still confusing to me.
Jim

Spelling !! markOutCode: try
'code
Catch ex as Exception
'error trapping
'empty to ignore error
end try
PS. you got the code from page one of this topic ;-)

Thanks for the quick response
Here's the updated code.
I'm not sure the best way to post update so others might find it easily, so please advise.
' PB-timeremaining-Active-New
' Checking time left of active running video and display this as a title. ' and do some stuff at certain time remaining
dim position as string = "" dim duration as string = "" dim activeinput as string = "" dim clipname as string = "" dim mark_out as string = ""
dim Timeleft as double = 0 dim triggertime as integer = 10 '10 seconds before end dim triggerduration as integer = 2000 'fade duration, could be different than trigger
do while true
dim xml as string = API.XML() dim x as new system.xml.xmldocument x.loadxml(xml)
activeinput = (x.SelectSingleNode("//active").InnerText) clipname = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@number='"& activeinput &"']/@title").Value) duration = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@number='"& activeinput &"']/@duration").Value) position = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@number='"& activeinput &"']/@position").Value)
dim markout_exists as string = "yes"
try mark_out = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@number='"& activeinput &"']/@markOut").Value) Catch ex as Exception markout_exists = "no" end try
if markout_exists = "yes" then duration = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@number='"& activeinput &"']/@markOut").Value) else duration = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@number='"& activeinput &"']/@duration").Value) end if Timeleft= Double.Parse(duration)-Double.Parse(position)
API.Function("SetText",Input:="Grn/Red Rooms Label 1",SelectedIndex:="9" ,Value:=clipname)
Timeleft = Timeleft / 100
dim Timingleft as integer = CInt(Timeleft) Timingleft = Timingleft / 10
dim Minutes as integer = Timingleft \ 60 dim Seconds as integer = Timingleft Mod 60
dim ThisTime as string ThisTime = Minutes.ToString("00") + ":" + Seconds.ToString("00")
if Timingleft < 60 'put a response in a title and change color accordingly API.Function("SetText",Input:="Grn/Red Rooms Label 1",SelectedIndex:="8" ,Value:=Timingleft) ' Value:=":", Value:=Seconds) if Timingleft < 30 API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:="Grn/Red Rooms Label 1",SelectedIndex:="8",Value:="red") else API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:="Grn/Red Rooms Label 1",SelectedIndex:="8", Value:="orange") end if else API.Function("SetText",Input:="Grn/Red Rooms Label 1",SelectedIndex:="8" ,Value:=ThisTime) API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:="Grn/Red Rooms Label 1", SelectedIndex:="8" ,Value:="white") end if

Please put code in language quote so it's readable (Next to regular quote button)

V24 Dynamic Values a most basic example Code:API.Function("SetDynamicInput1",Value:="SomeTitle.gtzip") or API.Function("SetDynamicInput1",Value:="37")
API.Function("SetDynamicValue1",Value:="Guest Name")
API.Function("SetText",Input:="Dynamic1",SelectedName:="Description.Text",Value:="Dynamic1")
These dynamic values can be set or changed in a script or with a shortcut and once set can be used with any function or shortcut where these values could apply
