Ok, I'm getting more into green screen work and want to build several custom virtual sets. The included virtual sets are great for testing and for certain situations, but for the most part we want to create personalized sets for each show or project we produce. My friend is an amazing animator and has created a looping MP4 background for our set. I've also seen the paid virtual sets, and they are nice, but since we have someone to build the graphics and animations, I'd rather build them myself.

I've searched the forums extensively and haven't found much on the subject, other than a post from 7 years ago. Martin suggested an easy work around of copying one of the folders of the included sets, and replace the media with your own. I'm still not sure how to edit the config file, but i was able to replace the background with my own image. However, what i really want is to replace the background with the looping MP4 my friend made.

I've got a gig this Thursday and it would be awesome if i could get some guidance here.

Thanks in advance.

have you considered using a UV map ?

Seems a bit tight on time to learn to edit the config file

just use one of the blank ones and dump your layers into it in the VT setup , choose your mp4 as the background

Thanks so much for this! I won’t be able to watch this video until I get home from my day job. Does this make it easy to just drop in my own media? Just drop and replace without having to edit the config file?

Which included virtual set has the UV map to copy?

Ok this sounds easy enough. I will try it out tonight.

My next question is, our custom looping set background has virtual screens that we want to map to be able to be changed to whatver we want in vmix. Does this mean we need to edit the UV map of the background to account for the screens?

Thanks so much for your help!

I watched a bit of the tutorial video you shared on my lunch. I’m still not quite sure how it will work with my files. I’ve got the animated background, an animated desk, and at least one virtual screen.

I understand that virtual sets are essentially multi view inputs, but I want to make sure this is an actual virtual set that can update the virtual screens, add talent, and be able to use the virtual zoom.

I’ll take a closer look when I get home.

a ringtone ??

Here is the link to our show from last night. Season 2 Premiere of ClanDestine LIVE!

Had a lot of little issues last minute so there are a few annoying mistakes like the main cam being overexposed and slightly out of color balance. And some of the virtual cam moves weren’t pretty but overall I’m very happy with the flexibility of the Blank10 preset for virtual sets.

Yeah forgot to mention the audio. That was bad! I often times get clips at the last minute and don’t have time to check the levels. I’m sure there is a way to set limits on the audio, but I’m not sure how to do it. What’s the easy way to set master audio limits for the master?
