Hi there,

I am running a 24/7 PuppyCam and am currently using OBS Studio and Xsplit Broadcaster with 3 web cameras. Within in OBS I am using a plugin called Advanced Scene Switcher which can automatically switch between cameras randomly every 7 seconds.

While this setup works, the computer I am running it on is always at 100% CPU.

A friend told me about vMix and I have been looking into it but I have not found a way to randomly switch cameras automatically. I would also like to have random graphics on the screen, something showing a picture of each puppy and their name and other puppy facts.

Is there any way to do this in vMix?

If you want to see my current setup head on over to puppiesofnewington dot com

Thanks,

Scott

You can make fully customizable scenarios with scripting , using titles linked to datasources etc
Go through the multitude of vMix tutorial videos , scripting (for dummies) post in this forum etc to get ideas and apply to your imagination

With only three sources why does it need to be random?

I would just create a three event sequence that loops.

No messing around with script logic.

You can still have graphics that come and go independent of the background loop.

The cameras are not delivering full-frame rate. Or at least, the video is stuttering. I see you have it set for 1080p. Are the cameras set to deliver MJPEG?
