I'm still playing around with my idea where vMix can do everything on its own to save me manually working on the broadcast.

Right here goes...

I have around 60ish images with descriptions and VO all placed within a present, so far when I select an input number it loads the image, plays an audio file and displays a specific text from a data source (thanks doggy), all is working perfect, but I have new ideas, can vMix do the following (I have looked but couldn't see anything).

1. When an audio file has finished playing, load overlay and play an mp4, I have tried onCompletion>OverlayInput3In>video_file.mp4 - Sadly this doesn't do anything - note the audio is activated by OverlayIn>Play.

2. In Triggers for the video_file.mp4 is there a way to automatically load an image as an overlay once completed? For example: onCompletion>OverlayInput2In>RandomInput>Input Categories>Images (I know that doesn't exist but a good idea though lol).



This is my sequence when I click an image input:
OnOverlayInput1 > gzip (viewers name, their photo and source)
OnOverlayInput2 > gzip (image title and description)
OnOverlayIn > Play > audio.mp3

Once audio has completed OverlayOut > Play mp4 animation, On Completion > Load new random image input > Load new random viewers name. This repeats until I stop.

Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks.

Something to consider: the oncompletion trigger only works when said input is in output or as overlay

Probably can get a random number using a script

Thanks I've changed the way it works, now the mp3 is the main, then I've used layers to bring in to other info, works great.

Looks like I have to upgrade to the 4k version then for the script.

Thanks doggy.

Depends, can have an external little app (script) do the same thing , would need to program an alternative for the trigger though by reading a input status from the API XML and send HTTPrequest for the functions

And that's just gone right over my head (I know nothing about scripting etc) lol, but thanks doggy for your kind support and for all the help you give others on here also.
