There is a PNG sequence with animation lasting 7 seconds, and text needs to appear on top of it. The goal is to make the text disappear before the background animation ends.

The vMix master frame rate is 25p. The PNG sequence (175 PNG files) contains a background animation for the title. The PNG sequence already has a FADE in/out.

In GTDesigner, I set the PNG sequence as the "ImageSequence" for the TransitionIN animation with a duration parameter of 7 seconds.

The text has a TransitionIN/OUT with FADE and a duration of 0.5 seconds. However, GTDesigner only starts the TransitionOUT after all TransitionIN animations are completed. As a result, the text's TransitionOUT always occurs after the PNG sequence animation has finished.

I don’t understand how to execute TransitionOUT for the text while the PNG sequence’s TransitionIN is still in progress.

Below, I’ve included a YouTube video where you can see that the text disappears only after the background has already faded out. The goal is to make the background disappear after the text.

P.S. English is not my native language; I apologize if I described the issue awkwardly. :)

P.P.S
Yes, I know that the title background can be added in vMix as a MOV file with a text layer on top, but sometimes this solution doesn’t work for me. I have a vMix project where I can select the show, and scripts change the title design, logo, and intro/outro. For all shows, the title is created with GTDesigner, and in my specific vMix project, there is no option to create an input with a MOV file that includes a text layer.
:D

P.P.P.S For live broadcasts, I'm the only person working, so I'd prefer to rely on the built-in functionality of vMix. I realize that all of this could probably be done using products like Resolume, but that would require significant financial investment and make everything more complicated. Currently, I have a Google Sheet with the names and positions of show guests, from which vMix pulls the text displayed in the titles.

:D

In GT Title Designer you have the 1,2,3 tabs for animations. So for the TransitionIn you set the animation in on Tab 1 for your text object, eg. Fade. On Tab 2 you also set Fade on your text object, but set a delay (how long do you want it to show?) and tick the "Reverse" box. It should fade out. For the TransitionOut you set the animation for the text object to "Hidden".
