                I would like to use the vmix to show live results for horse riding and I wonder about the best approach to control it automaticly
  To get an idea of what it it should do: The different States of the Graphic would be
  No. 1: Competitor comes in (countdown starts is running)  - bottom box with rider, horsename, nation  - top right box with countdown label and countdown
  No. 2: Competitor starts (time starts)  - bottom box with rider, horsename, nation  - top right box with time running  - top left box with penalties or points fades in
  No. 3: Competitor finishes (result)
   - bottom box with rider, horsename, nation  - top right box with time running  - top left box with penalties or points fades in  - above bottom box the current rang is showing
  ... next competitor comes starts at No. 1 again
 
  The data is servered via a JSON-File (served by a nodeJs app) which might also contain status flags like  "state": "countdown" "state": "running", "state": "result . . . and so on
 
 
  My idea after playing with GT-Title Editor is to make the layouts (No.1, No.2,...)  available via pages and trigger those pages with shortcuts called by api calls made by  the software that generates the datasource-json
 
  Before I start putting too much effort into this, I wanted to ask here if someone might have a better idea on how to make such an automatic gaphic work in vmix :-)
  Every advise is welcome

                Tie the “state” data source to a text box in a spare title then Make a script that monitors the value of that text box and then in turn triggers the appropriate title as needed,

                we use legacy xaml titles for something similar , can add animations/visual changes based on the various values in its code behind (keeps things also compact in setting up)
