Hi, thank you for your fast help! I've another question: In the shipped XAML-Files you can store serveral names, headlines, etc., .... But they are stored in the general settings. I need a way to add name and other data in a seperate file (e.g. csv, excel) to interchange them dynamically. It's intented to use to display competitors names and results at a sportive event. It is not possible to type that stuff by hand, I get the results by an excel-file from the judges....
Any ideas? I appreciate any kind of help. :-)
Thank you and have a nice weekend all out there!
Stefan

I am wanting to do basically the same thing. I want to create "Player Stat" overlays where I can populate the stat boxes from a CSV or DBF file. I was really wanting to assign shortcuts for each player so that if I need to popup a particular player's stats, (ie Bob Smith), I could have a shortcut for each player. Bob Smith may be CTL-17. When I press CTL-17 it would pop up the "Stat Overlay" populated with the data for Bob Smith, including the picture of Bob Smith. Then I would want to be able to press ALT-17 to turn the overlay off.
I would hopefully be able to press ALT-17 to turn the overlay off.. If I have 64 players, the last player would be CTL=64 to turn it on and ALT-64 to turn it off.
If anyone can shed some light on this and tell me how to accomplish this I would be so greatfull!!
I have looked all over for a third party solution and just can't find anything that is cost effective that will do what I want. I think vMmix will do it if I just learn how.
I am confident that we can display player stats like a college game does using vMix.
Thanks, Tim

It won't be the most extravagant graphics, but I've used an excel file and desktop capture to make chroma keyed graphics that were more detailed than I could handle quickly with the vmix titles. These graphics can be run directly on the vmix machine or on a separate computer.
In excel, create your database of stats in one tab. In another tab, format the spreadsheet as chroma green and add vlookup formulas to pull your stats onto the green screen. The stats can be formatted in a variety of text colors and the background colors of the cells can also be changed.
Good luck.

Quote:I need a way to add name and other data in a seperate file (e.g. csv, excel) to interchange them dynamically. It's intented to use to display competitors names and results at a sportive event. Quite a few options possible. Directly from excel one can send (using a macro) data to vMix titles The way I have done is creating a vb.net gui where I import a csv list into a table. I can still make adjustments in that list if needed. Then I simple click a button to send the appropriate line of data to the vMix title, another button does the same (sending the data) but also jumps to the next line automatically making that data ready. That way I can go through a list of hundreds of names and other details to display. for results/ scores depending on what is needed one can in the same gui that count up or down , calculate, clear etc and send it to your title. it becomes just clicking onscreen buttons, heck those can even be triggered from external sources ( scanners, timing gates etc ) ;-) API : in the help files

Thanks kelvin and Doggy! I am not a programmer (not even close!) and really trying to learn all this stuff on the fly. Do either of you have any templates or files that I could save into vMix to make it easier for me to implement this?
