Hey everyone,

I’ve been struggling with a specific use case for vMix and could really use some help or a proper solution from someone who’s done this before.

Goal:
I want to create a scrolling ticker in vMix that pulls data from an Excel file and scrolls through each column of a row, one by one, before moving on to the next row — and I need this to happen based on content completion, not a fixed time delay.

What I’ve Tried:
Excel as a Data Source — I've linked an .xlsx file successfully using vMix's Data Sources feature.

vMix Scripting (VB.NET) — I used scripts to loop through the rows and trigger DataSourceSelectRow and set a fixed Sleep() time between them.

Problem — The content scrolls on a fixed timer (Sleep(xxx)), but this doesn't work well because:

Some text is longer and needs more time to scroll.

Some is shorter and leaves too much gap.

As a result, the ticker doesn't feel smooth or professional.

Tried CSV or TXT — But vMix treats commas as new columns, and tabs/spacing doesn’t help either. It still reads everything as one line or breaks the formatting.

Dynamic Row Count — I want the ticker to auto-update if the Excel file changes (rows added or removed), without restarting the script or manually refreshing anything.

GT Title — I’m using a scrolling text GT title, and I know the animation cannot use Fly since it's a ticker — but I haven’t found a way to trigger scrolling completion events like "OnAnimationCompleted" or similar.

Triggers — Tried vMix triggers to detect when the scroll is finished, but they don’t seem to work reliably or trigger anything useful in this context.

What I Need:
A way to scroll through all the columns of a row, one at a time.

After all columns in a row are done scrolling, then move to the next row.

All of this needs to be content-driven, meaning:

It waits for the full scroll to finish before going to the next item.

No static sleep/delay.

It should auto-refresh if Excel data is updated (more or fewer rows).

Ideally no need to restart vMix, reload scripts, or refresh the data source manually.


I’ve tried a lot, and I’m honestly stuck. I’d really appreciate a working example, plugin, or script that solves this or any ideas to approach it better.

Thanks in advance!
