Hello all,

I've Been silent because been busy!, so here's another topic that came to me in a dream.

I bought an AKAI MPC mini to control my stuff and reduce the hassle of using my keyboard, I've setup a lot of keys with inputs sources, added shortcuts and activators, works nice but now the issue is back to one of my earlier posts on playlist control.

How can I add activators for playing specific playlist items as you do with regular inputs added to vMix?

Thanks for everything, I've been mastering vMix --at least for my needs--

Cheers

You would use shortcuts, activators just for button color.

Go to Settings>Shortcuts>Add Shortcut

Pick Input>ListPlayOut

Then select your list input.

Then pick the video you want to play below.

Yeah, I'm clear on that

I guess I wan unclear on my previous message, sorry, my bad.

Here's a screenshot of what I currently do on the Shortcuts section

And the activator section

Thing is: How do I make a button lid when a specific playlist item. HTH.

Thanks

Got it. You're right, activators don't dig down to the list video item level.

Are you asking for "Playlist" or "List"?
That's unclear !

Playlist is designed to run unattended so it's only possible to start and stop.
For list however, we already have all the necessary shortcuts and activators.
I guess what you're looking for (if List is your concern) is "InputPlaying" as explained in the manual :

I will explain it again.

I created a List under Add Input, I added 25+ wav and mp3 sound effects, then I mapped those sound using a long button logic like this>
AudioOn, SelectIndex=(# List), Restart, Play on the same button, then when i try to do the same for Activators, so that whn I press the "Applause" effect button it lids I can't seem to find the option for that when the items are on a (Play)List.

Now, somehow (UN)related, I guess: Is there a way to optimize this whole bunch of stuff, I see vMix is laggish when loading my 84 Input production, that's a complaint AND/OR ISSUE i'D LIKE TO SORT OUT, BUT i'M JUST STARTING AND I BOUGHT THE HD($300+) version, sorry about the caps.

Any idea on optimizing behavior? and my first point?.

Thanks for creating vMix
