For those of us running solo productions while talking/performing on-camera it would be really helpful to be able to have an overlay or perhaps a Miltiview layer with triggers to periodically transition-in then after a set duration transition-out the lower thirds or other titles. I mean on an automated schedule re-occurring say every 8 minutes or so on a specific input or composited scene comprised of several multiview layers.

The more we can automate the better, hard to remember everything while operating all the switching and simultaneously talking on camera.

Thanks for considering!

Are those tools capable of creating set intervals?

vMix Support said this is not possible and recommended posting it here as a feature request.

From vMix Support: “There isn't really a solution in vMix at current to trigger something to re-occur at set intervals. There is the playlist feature which allows you to automate your production and queue up all your inputs with set duration. You can also put that on loop. But this likely won't fit in with the rest of your production I'm guessing. So unfortunately no this isn't currently possible sorry.”

“You can most certainly submit a feature request. To do so, please submit a post to our feature request forums:”

Code:
Do While true
API.Function("OverlayInput1In",Input:=11)
Sleep(60000)
API.Function("OverlayInput1Out",Input:=11)
Sleep(300000)
Loop




well triggers are not capable for long pauses but they can trigger a script

if i understood your wish correctly:
The above script will overlay1 input 11 (say a title)
keep it there for 1 minute and overlay it out
after 5 minutes it will do this again -> continuously

Has been running here for hours together with a soundbit and a countdown time display added ;-)

Awesome doggy thanks so much!

I had no idea how to script that. Will try to plug your code in. Thank you for all the help!
