Hi Guillaume,

Great work again! Seems to work better than the previous version.

Could you post the image of your APCmini again with the button names? I'm struggling a bit where to put what...

Un grand merci!

Hi Guiillaume. Thanks! I've send you a pm.

Hi Guillaume,

Unfortunately I'm new on Vmix and I'd like to improve my knowledge on Multiview.

I understand mechanism to make it in the normal way but it should be good to have a template like you have.

I mean, one where you can change any camera just pressing a button.

I wonder if I need a script for that.

In other way, how can you change inputs in multiview and they adapt size automatically in the screen (big, small,etc)

Sorry about those questions but remember i'm rookie

For fast labeling on the Akai APC Mini, I just use a non-permanent whiteboard marker directly on the keys, they are backlit so it works perfectly and holds for a good 3 months if you press them instead of rub them.

Been doing this for about a year now with no problems and it looks just like new when wiped clear.

A paper towel with a few drips of water can remove the marker in no time for a relabel.

Cheers!

Not quite. You can only switch the overlays off using these buttons in the center area between production clock and transitions.


Just assign 4 buttons to "OverlayInput1Off" ... "OverlayInput4Off"
Or
create a single button with "OverlayInputAllOff"


I think you're confusing here...
If YOU don't select which input is to be overlaid, how can vMix know which one to use?
The command OverlayInput1In does not mean "Overlay Input 1" but "Use Overlay Slot 1 for THIS input I'm selecting". And you're supposed to click (or trigger somehow) one of the 4 overlay icons directly IN the input thumbnail. At least to overlay in. And you have 2 options to overlay Off (or Out): use the very same icon in the thumbnail or the center buttons (as seen above)

I suppose you watched my videos. The 3rd row from the bottom uses the OverlayInput4 command to toggle on and off the 8 inputs I defined for the akai 8 columns. My Overlay 4 is set to PiP any input so I can easily PiP my 8 inputs using the Akai. However if I want to overlay 4 my 9th or 13th input I must use the mouse and do it in the UI.


Use OverlayInput1-4 commands to toggle on ad off. But you still need to use theses commands for each input you want to overlay. That's why I don't do this with the Akai (except for PiP overlay4 here and 8 inputs), otherwise I woud fill all 84 buttons only for overlays. I always toggle my overlays 1 to 3 with the mouse.

You might be interested by a Feature Request I submitted which would allow to use Dynamic Inputs and Dynamic Functions to reduce drastically the number of Shortcuts/Buttons required to do anything in vMix.
Check it and add your +1 if you like it

Just a short idea for this:

I set all of my Program buttons with "Quick Play" transition. It is good because as you know the "Quick Play" transition can be set from Setting panel / Options.
In this way I can set a default transition for my every project and don't neccessary to modify the shortcuts.

I did not checked, but if you able to set the "Quick Play's" value with shortcut, You are almost done...

Hmmm?

Hi Guillaume and thank you for those instruction, so useful!!

I would ask to you if you know why I can't manage correctly the akai mini's circle LED with the activators.. I select the type "AKAI APCmini Circle LED" But the two colors proposed are only Default (white) or blink (also white).
If I set the square type and the color, instead, they are off or red only.

How did you setup their color?

Thank you!
