I use PowerPoint for 2 line lyrics at the bottom of the screen. I create this by making a narrow slide in PPT. But when I add the input in vMix it is full screen. I have to narrow it back down to 2 lines. I leave the width full screen. I set "Zoom Y" manually to get to the 2 line size. I then bring it in as an overlay.
I can do it manually but it would be simpler if I could use a shortcut. There is already a shortcut for "Pan X and Pan Y". Could this be done for SetZoom?

1. have you tried changing the Aspect ratio of your input ?
2. would it not be simpler to have a correct size (ration) of the slides ?

Yes, Anamorphic is the only one that does not go to full screen. I even tried creating the PPT as a banner and it still imports full.

Are you speaking of a vMix title or a PPT title?
If vMix, these are song lyrics over several slides and have to be changed quickly. It wouldn't be feasible to use titles.
If PPT, it does same thing. Where else can I stop it from importing as full screen? Can it be imported as an overlay?

doggy,
After your questions, I did some more research and have found a work-around. If I save the slides as jpegs, I can input the folder and work it as pictures. The size is just as it is in PPT. All I have to do is make a quick pan setting (which I can do with a trigger) to take it to the bottom of the screen. It also has a smaller footprint than the PPT slides and loads faster. The load time gets pretty long when there are 40-50 slides in the PPT.
Thanks for your help!

not feasible ? maybe check out using data sources in titles where you can advance a row of data with a single keypress, how much quicker can you get :-) One title, one simple data file containing all the lyrics and one shortcut no messing around with panning and moving an image
