I know I've done this before, but I'm wondering if that was during trial version of full vmix. I have Basic hd. It's very simple, I have 4 inputs : a desktop capture, camera 1, camera 2, and an audio in. I have desktop capture as main/full screen. I have a little overlay window on right corner. I want that overlay to switch from camera 1 to camera 2, via midi foot controller. I go into shortcuts, add, find, press my midi switch, function/ I select overlay input 2. Save. But, Nothing happens when I press footswitch?!
Each input thumbnail only has overlay input 1 button( 2,3, 4 are greyed out). If I use my mouse and click those 1's, the window will change. How do I do that via midi?
I've watched a bunch of yt vids... But it's not working. The yt vids are based on full vmix.

Shouldn't you select OverlayInput1 instead of 2 ?

Basic HD does not give you many flexible options (scripting and Mix inputs etc) Not sure if Dynamic inputs is available in Basic but if : Say Cam1 and 2 are input 1 and 2 respectively Have Input 1 a trigger to OnOverlayIn to SetDynamicInput1 Input as 2 Have Input 2 a trigger to OnOverlayIn to SetDynamicInput1 Input as 1 Shortcut now being OverlayInput1 with Input as Dynamic1 Or Add cam2 as layer 1 to cam1 input Shortcut LayerOnOff of cam1 input with index value 1 Overlay cam1
