Sounds more like a stinger than a title / lower third you're creating.

The animated lower third that is included in vMix is done in XAML (with "coding").

I'm not sure if it is possible to export from After Effects to a XAML file.

This doesn't help you much, but if I were you, I would take a look at the sourcecode of the default animated lower third title, and try to play around with the code. Simply open the AnimatedHD.xaml in your notepad editor, edit some code, save and reload in vMix. Perhaps it's a good idea to save the original, in case of code not working.

One way would be to import the image sequence then add a basic title that you've created in editor so text lines up correctly.
After bringing in these two modules set a trigger for the sequence to overlay the text at proper timing point then set trigger on text to turn off overlay of image sequence. you will have to play with timing to get it to look good. I have done variations of this many times and it's not hard once you get the idea of how it works.
Good luck

You could create a keyboard/MIDI shortcut to activate both at same time then use delayed triggers to take them off.

You can do as corporatejames is doing and program XAML into a DLL. That is the best way, but maybe not the easiest.

Or

I create my titles and use a Powershell script to get the data from something, eg: XML (local or web), Json Source, CSV File, Database etc.. Then post the data into your already designed title using the Vmix webapi. So a little Powershell script acts a data bridge. Grabbing from source, delivering to Vmix webapi. I use powershell as it's versatile, doesn't NEED extra compiled binaries on your Vmix machine that could crash. Is reasonably easy to debug. Almost every Vmix computer has powershell already installed thanks to Microsoft. I also use powershell for many server admin tasks which is why I went down that path.

Some basics are here: http://forums.vmix.com/d....aspx?g=posts&t=1177 and scattered in other posts I've actually put code up. Still has a learning curve if you have never used powershell.

You could do it with any programming or scripting language, that is what is so great about the VMix web api, you can do many things with it. You already have powershell installed, it's a great tool to glue two things together in an automated way. One of the best things Microsoft has added to all recent Windows operating systems, that is often overlooked.

thanks for your inputs - I'll give it a try and hope that I can make that happen (even without previous knowledge of any kind). ;-)

Best regards

I've done loads of animation with XAML + AE .mov. Just read timecode from AE and start animating in blend.

Put .xaml on top of .mov file in multiview in vMix and overlay .mov file on whatever channel.
