Hi all,

Is it possible to clone or copy an existing input?

I have a nice input set up and I'd rather not have to "start all over" when I want to create a slightly different version of the input.

Using Vmix 20

Thanks!

This is not immediately obvious, but I just create a virtual clip and then rename the new one.

This may be what you need.

To expand on what Steve posted...

Rt click the settings icon on the Input you want to copy and select "Create Virtual Input." This works and make a "copy" of almost all inputs. I don't think is "copies" video files, but rather allows the new input to display what is playing in the original input.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Tom,
Much better detail.
To add, the trick is to rename the new "virtual input" on the setup gear of the newly created clip to a new name, this disconnects it from the original. This how we copy a bunch of triggers for a new clip.
