I had the idea to ask Codex if he could help me customize a title. I uploaded a GT title for this purpose—the first sentence of a tennis scorebug serves as the template.
I know this example doesn't make sense—after all, I can also put the name together on the client side. But that was the idea I had to test it.
My simple request was:
Quote:Give it a try—I'd like to expand this slide-in to include two sets of names (4 names total). To do that, I need two new text elements: hname2 and aname2. Can you set them up so that hname2 is spaced apart from hname, and do the same for aname? It's a slide-in for tennis. The text fields have the "shrink" and "nowrap" flags. Same font.
given template:
scorebug_1s.gtzip
(118kb) downloaded 2 time(s).The first result was encoded incorrectly (UTF-16 instead of UTF-8). Apparently, the format encoded by vMix is UTF-8, even though the header says UTF-16. I guess that must be a legacy issue?
Upon request (wrong format), the valid title with 4 name fields can then be immediately adjusted correctly within the previous space for the single name, with "shrink" and "wordwrap" set correctly.
So I sent Codex a screenshot of a doubles tennis match from this year's Wimbledon tournament and asked if he could adjust it to match the graphics in the image.
The result was this:
Note that all the backgrounds were drawn by Codex himself. In my original Scorebug, the name background was still a PNG image, but in the Wimbledon transition screen created by Codex, he drew and layered all the elements himself—without providing any instructions. The only thing that’s off is the light background color of the name and score.
All of this took me less than 5 minutes.
I can just imagine how much time I’ll save when creating tables and the like.
Upload a sample Title from vMix, add a hand-drawn illustration with explanatory text, and a new graphic is created in no time.
I'm guessing that the forum users are also avid AI users, which is probably why there are hardly any questions about scripting anymore.
I have a Pro account for Codex. I don't think that would work with a free account.
The playing field has suddenly become much larger.
Let me know here what you've already done with AI and vMix titles...
