I have been looking for a simple solution for growing bars with the GT Title.

Here now my example, how I tried to solve this.

The gtzip template has ONE bar, consisting of 579 individual text fields (hard work :-), each 3 pixels wide, each with the character "full block" of Arial █

Load the GT title growingbars1.gtzip into vMix.
Adjust the size and position of the first bar with the Position sliders of this Input.
Create 3 virtual copies of this bar.
Move them with the Position sliders to the right position in each Input.

(IMPORTANT) Rename the 3 copies to:
growingbars2.gtzip
growingbars3.gtzip
growingbars4.gtzip

load a Color Transparent input.
add the 4 growingbar titles to the multiviewer.
This input is then your finished overlay signal.

For the bars to move, 2 scripts are needed.
one to clear the bars
one to make the bars grow.

The scripts are loaded with the preset.

for testing, please put all parts on the desktop.
-Project growingbars.vmix
-GT title growingbar1.gtzip

All necessary variables can be changed in the script growingbars.
(color,transparence of the bar, speed, percentages)
The script is designed for a total of 100%.

The bar width is adjusted automatically, i.e. the participant with the highest percentage gets the full bar width.

Shortcuts:
C clears the bars
G starts bars growing

All needed files (project, titel) are here

Firstly, thanks for sharing your work.

I was wondering, how can I make a bar that changes size based on data input? I am working on an election package and want to make a bar graph that represents the various percentages candidates receive?

Cheers

I see. Let me dl the files and see if I can work it out.

GT title (designer)

A textfield and a colored rectangle
Textfield set to automatic resizing to width
crop/mask the rectangle with the textfield
number of character in textfield will determin the length of the rectangle

A vMix vb.net script that reads a value (from title/datasource, or other) and converts it to a number of characters needed/set within the bar textfield (a percentage of max length of the bar for example) or just a length of text entered manually if one wants to avoid some math ;-)
Step resolution of the bar is related to the font size used

That's it
