Hi all,

I wouldn't have a clue about scripting so I'm wondering if this is possible.

This is the plan:
I have 65 images which the viewer will pick randomly, when I press lets say number 4 as an overlay to display their chosen picture number, vMix then places the picture, loads the VO audio (and plays), inserts viewers profile, their name, and displays text boxes - so far all working great.

Now here's the tricky part, as mentioned I have 65 images, these also come with 65 text files with titles and descriptions, what I would like to know if its possible for vMix to import a file and display that specific information into the text box.

So in other words, if the viewer picks number 16, I press input (image) 16, vMix then inserts number 16 text file into the text boxes (or if its via excel row 16).

Not liking the idea of creating 65 text blocks and manually entering the information, talk about time consuming!

Thanks in advance.

Use a datasource and use the shortcut to select datasource row

If one uses dynamicvalue in the shortcut after setting the dynamic value when choosing the input nr one is golden. While at it use dynamic input also based on the number.
