Greetings,

I am a new user working with VMix in my trial period. I have been using the application to create content for my social media channels.

I am trying to set up a trigger that will automatically change the input of a Virtual Set at a specific point during the the clip

For example, I am creating a news show and on Screen 3 of the Virtual set, I have an input of a clip from APnews. After 10 seconds of the clip, I want the input to change to another clip of a different story on Reuters, and so forth.

Any help would be appreciated to know if this is possible.

Thanks

doggy

Scripting will be your best bet:
play video , have a counter within your script , when counter is at end change layer of virtual set with next clip start counter again for next

or use a list as input for the layer of ( edited ) clips is also an option

Greetings! I was able to use the list functionality with a little editing to the videos as you mentioned. Do you know if it is possible to add pauses to the list without pausing the stream

What have you tried ?

What about "PlayPause" the list input ?

Might be worth it to Go through all the available shortcut function and check what they do and play with them to understand them
Oh and there is a shortcut reference list in the helpfile too, IMO the function names are pretty obvious

Thanks, Doggy, you have been a great help, and I am working through them now. The shortcuts and triggers are especially helpful as I am producing and recording everything myself
