Can't figure out the animation sequencing and timings to do this. It should be simple enough but without a visual timeline I'm lost.

I have a simple title where one line changes contents halfway through playout. I just want to transition the change, fading one out and the other into the same spot at the same time.

So for example INFO is there for say 5 seconds and then is replaced with a quick fade out/in with MOREINFO, which stays for another 5 seconds and then the title animates out.

I looked at using pages, but I don't want to have to trigger the change in vMix just play it and it changes itself.

the data is coming from two columns in a google sheet, I just select the row to fill all the other objects.

Thank you!

In GT Title Designer with the TransitionIn storyboard for the INFO textbox you set a Fade with a Delay of 5 seconds and check the Reverse box (so it fades out).
(If you want a Fade In beforehand, you can use the 1, 2, 3 tabs to have more than one transition.)

For the MOREINFO textbox you just set a fade with a Delay of 5 seconds.

The Duration setting is for the duration of the Fade transition.

Great, that takes care of the transition, except the INFO box reappears as soon as the MOREINFO TransitionIn ends and they’re both on screen. How do I keep INFO hidden for the next 5-10 seconds while MOREINFO is displayed? I’ve looked at the Animations documentation and still can’t decipher that, even after experimenting. I’m sure it’s simple but I guess I am too and just missing it.

On the 2 or 3 tab use Hidden as transition, with the proper delay.

Thanks so much for your help, this is my first show using GTD. Now it animates perfectly in Designer, but when I try and run it in vMix, I’m not getting the TransitionOut for the MOREINFO (it stays displayed) or the full layer (want to fade all out after 10s). I’m playing it as overlay 1.
