In live switching, changing from one camera or clip to another is called a transition. During the next transition the previewed Overlay will automatically be activated over the top of Program/Output. Hold down ALT while pressing one of the Overlay row buttons to turn on that overlay in the Preview window instead of directly to Program/Output.Hold down ALT while pressing a Preview row button to start playing that input if it is a video clip.This will allow enhancements to be added to future updates of vMix. The ALT button can be held down in conjunction with other buttons in order to change their functionality. Press Ok and the selected function button is now ready to be used.Example: if you wanted a button to start recording, select Start Recording. These correspond to the F1, F2 and F3 keys on the Control Surface. Click the Key drop down and scroll down to SurfaceF1, SurfaceF2, SurfaceF3.Click Add and a new window opens, with drop down menus showing usable keys and available vMix shortcuts.To program the Function buttons, open up the settings window in vMix and click the Shortcuts tab.Press the number of the input on the Preview row that you want to assign to Preview. This will cut or take the input directly to output without any transitions. Press the number of the input on the Program row that you want to assign to the Program or Output. If an overlay channel has an active input, the corresponding input will light up. To see which inputs are currently active on each overlay channel, you can cycle through the 4 DSK buttons.Button 6 will then light up indicating that input 6 is overlaid on channel 1 of the chosen input. Example: if you have a lower third title in input 6, press button 6 on the Overlay row. Press the desired input you wish to overlay.It will now light up indicating overlay channel one on the first 12 inputs is ready to be used. Example: if you want to overlay an input on channel 1, press the DSK1 button. Select the Overlay channel you wish to use.The DSK buttons on the Control Surface correspond to the 1 through 4 numbers underneath each input in vMix. These are also known as Down Stream Keyers (DSK) because the graphics are usually "keyed" over live video after any upstream effects are applied. In vMix, graphics placed on top of other sources are known as Overlays.
VMIX GRAPHICS PROFESSIONAL
Simply plug in and start producing professional live broadcasts. Using the control surface allows additional personnel to handle titles, graphics, replays and other show tasks while the operator continues to switch the show. It connects via USB and brings that tactile control to any vMix production by providing a traditional production switcher interface. Please Note: You can not use these animations in StreamYard or Restream Studio since they do not support videos with alpha transparency.The ACME GO Control Surface (only compatible with vMix) is the perfect complement to the ACME GO and ACME RACK. Links to video tutorials are provided with each purchase. The countdown animations are designed to be used with the timer features available in vMix, OBS, and Ecamm - allowing the duration, font, and text to be adjusted.
VMIX GRAPHICS PDF
Links to download Apple Pro Res 4444 versions (for use in editing software) will be provided in the PDF Guide - we don't include those in the main download because of the large file sizes. Most of the animated graphics feature alpha transparency which allows them to be placed on top of your video - these are provided in WebM format so that they can be used in Ecamm, vMix, and OBS. Non-transparent animations are provided in MP4 format which also work in all the above.
