I am requesting a colour binding feature whereby colours for different layers are tied to a single layer's colour property; when that particular layer colour is changed it be reflected to all layers bound to it.
Thanks.

This will help us avoid copying colours manually to several layers and will keep the design colours in harmony. Thanks.

Thanks. First off one can not assign colors to layers in a GT title , you can however to TextBlocks and in the upcomming v25 to shapes'. There are different ways to say synchronize the color changing of a rectangle for example : Have one shortcut change to color for all the wanted elements or using a script that reads the color setting of one shape and applies that color to the others (v25 API.XML will let you read the current color of a shape)

It happens that we have several shapes of the same colour, I wouldn't want all of them show colour options in vMix. I would make one layer's colour options visible and once I change it, all the linked layers should reflect the change. Thanks. All Layers Showing Colour Options.PNG (104kb) downloaded 1 time(s).

Curious how you would envision the workflow in the designer for example. Yes few lines of script is based on v25 features. Code:dim x as new system.xml.xmldocument
x.loadxml(API.XML())
dim Color as string = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@title='sample.gtzip']//color[@name='MasterRectangle.Fill.Color']").Innertext)
API.Function("SetColor",Input:="sample.gtzip",SelectedName:="Rectangle1.Fill.Color",Value:=Color)
API.Function("SetColor",Input:="sample.gtzip",SelectedName:="Rectangle2.Fill.Color",Value:=Color)
