Hi there,

So, this season I'm going to give vmix a go for live streaming my local sports teams rugby games - and i've got most of the process down pat (done a few trial games with scoreboards, action replay, etc.).

However, the final piece of my puzzle is how I'm going to do the team sheet at the start - where each 'jersey' has a sponsor - NOT the player.

So, Shirt 1 is always sponsored by Sponsor 1, but the player name/photo needs to change.

I don't get the 'list' until about 15minutes before the teams are read out, so don't have time to compile fresh graphics - but, would like to create a solution possibly using pull down menu's and alpha channels. (If I do a 'Shirt 1 / Sponsor 1 graphic' and a generic 'Player name / photo' graphic) that can someone be stitched together last minute and whacked in a 'list' so that it will auto-play the 18names, that'd be grand!


So far, the best thing I've been able to do, and this is not ideal, is do a 'shirt 1' mov, and follow that with a 'player 1' mov, then just create a 'list' where i put them in the right weekly order...but like i said, it'd look better if I could do a single screen with this information.

So, brains trust. Over to you! How would you tackle this!

I hope it makes sense!

@ Toldorn

I would be inclined to use Data Sources and a csv/excel file with a custom GT Title.

Can images / video’s / image sequences be stored in a data source eg excel or google sheets?

Images can. I would reccomend using images from the web, for example upload all the images to your homepqge web server and use links from there. Using local addresses can be sometimes tricky.
If using web links, be sure to click through all the data sources and playing graphics at least once before going live to cache all the images.
