vMix has a very powerful Scripting feature, but some folks are not so comfortable with coding, and may not be using scripts to their potential. So.. I made a little app that is simple to use and that will build the script for you.

Features:

- Simple to use with pulldown menus that reflect your inputs when connected to vMix.
- Build scripts offline by manually inserting the pertinent vMix info into the pulldown fields (such as: Input Name or number, Selected Name, Index, etc) . This can be useful if you often use the same input names for different vMix presets.
- Import scripts and modify them to suit your needs
- Export (save) the scripts for use in vMix or other 3rd party programs
- Quickly test your scripts as you go ! (It's not necessary to save and import them into vMix to test them). Just press "Test Script" button

If you have never written a script, I would encourage you to read the "Shortcut Function Reference' chapter in the vMix User guide to understand how to use the commands.

Super app. THX. But could you add Cyrillic support. Names and data now are "???????"
TNX once more

Update v1.0.6 (link in first post)

- added french and cyrillic support

- choose vMix Scripts for use in vMix scripting settings or
- choose URLEncoded Scripts for use in browsers or 3rd party apps

- "import" button will import vMix scripts that were created in vMix scripting
- "save" button will save vMix scripts for importing directly into vMix scripting

- fixed incremental += in value field not always working correctly
- "new command” line now appears when clearing script

- added copy to clipboard feature

Richard

Use this Script Builder app to create the script for you . Then copy to clipboard and paste it in vMix scripting.

It should look something like this:

Function=Fade&Input=Alex Ubago - Look at us.mp4
Function=WaitForCompletion&Input=Alex Ubago - Look at us.mp4
Function=Fade&Duration=100&Input=NDI AIR2 (vMix - Output 1)

This looks great! However, website not accessible, can't establish a secure connection. Could this be fixed so it's possible to look at and download the app?

This is a fantastic tool!
I tried it for the first time - not knowing my way around scripts at all - and I was able to easily create various scripts for managing audio talk-back with several vMixcalls. This will save me so much work!
Thanks for sharing this!

So great that you created this, Richard. Thank you. I can't wait to start using it.

Have you ever considered a version that can output VB script - for those of us that need scripts that may not be possible using vmix's built in scripting function?

For example, I've been doing a lot live, 4K overshooting lately - without any camera people. Each of three cameras is framed so that we can get 3-4, 1080p shots (or 4 720p shots) which you use on one main and 3 virtual inputs. So for camera 1, our inputs are 1-4 (1A,1B,!C,!D). The problem we are trying to address is tally lights. Right now, the talley only turns red when input 1 is in program. Inputs 2-4 don't trigger camera-1's talley, but need to, given that virtual inputs 2-4 also come from camera-1.

I'd love to be able to write a script that tells Vmix that anytime inputs 2-4 are routed to program, turn on the talley for camera-1 (as well as when input-1 is similarly routed) - and a similar script for preview routing.

It seems to me that this is something that's beyond the scoped of basic Vmix scripting, but perhaps not for VB scripting.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Richard.

So far I’’m just using vmix’s internal tally light system and smartphones pointing to either a local copy of Vmix or a remote copy over the Internet.

Best,

David

If you know anybody who is interested in Vb.net scripting for Vmix, I’d love to have access to an ad hoc developer - either on an hourly or project basis.

Much appreciated!

I don't believe your issue is with windows but rather with the version of vMix. What version are you using ?

Please note that as of vMix version 24.0.0.60 the TCP and Web API are now locked down by default with some enhanced security measures. This essentially blocks the "StartScriptDynamic" command. However, you can choose to disable the "Enhanced Security" option in the vMix Web settings. This should allow the Dynamic scripts to run again.

The other option is to export the scripts from the Panel Builder app and then import them into vMix giving them a unique name. You would then call up the scripts directly using the "ScriptStart" command.

cheers,
Richard

This is really great! One question, there are a number of functions not listed (for example, "SetLayer"), with these be eventually added?
