Hi @onemansstream - Thanks for watching! I am glad this was helpful. MERGE opens up a lot of creative possibilities beyond it being a Transition. Unfortunately, the animations in GT Title only cover transitions on and off and changes to data values, so they couldn't be leveraged for this use case. Adding more sophisticated capabilities both in animations and what you can do with Pages in GT Title would be a great update for vMix 28. Take care! -john

Hi @mounirammi - Since any input in vMix can be used as an overlay/lower3rd, it is possible to build up layers on an input to construct advanced lower 3rds that are not possible using GT-Title alone. You can render elements in AE as video loops, import them into vMix to use as a base layer for a lower 3rd, add a GT-Title to a layer above it with dynamic text and static image elements, and then add any other media assets to the layers above that to complete the composite. You can also use the MERGE approach from this video to dynamically reposition elements in the lower-3rd if that is part of the effect you are looking for. While not as sophisticated as some very advanced graphic rendering systems, the flexibility and simplicity of this approach is hard to beat - especially considering the cost. Thanks for watching! -john

Thank you William - I appreciate that. Best, john

In my experience as a Yolobox Ultra Dealer, every device I have had in my hands three total now has been a bug ridden product with features that are advertised but simply do not work. Then Frank and Broadfield lie about the features, blame their dealers and customers and promise updates that never work. Save your sanity, time and money do not buy this fraud of a product.

You are always welcomed Bill. Thanks for watching! Best, -john

Hi @TheGriffinDoor-hy3rq - I appreciate you pointing this out! The live show was a while ago, so it probably makes sense to revisit it on a future show to cover any changes Google has made to the process. Thanks for watching and good luck with your upcoming podcast! -john

Hi @liveevents9191 - Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching. Best, -john

Hi @BGdev305 - Since this was a live show, we didn't have the benefit of editing things for pacing and brevity, so I appreciate your patience in viewing this. We were able to explain and demo how to work with this capability in the first 25 minutes, so hopefully you found some value in that segment of the show. Thank you for watching! Best, -john

You are welcomed, Bill.

Hi @ProVideoGuyYT Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to watch. We recently did a show covering how to create a file with KZfaq chapter markers (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erllfqaIrtOZmYk.html). For that we pulled data from a GT Tile (which was populated via an external data source) and wrote it out in the specific KZfaq Chapter Marker format to a text file. While not an exact match to what you are asking, the basic concept should apply to extracting the score data from your title, and then writing the file out in a CSV - a format that can easily be imported into a spreadsheet. I know there are also ways to use the Google API to write to a Sheet file directly , but I would need to do a bit of research before I could offer more details on that approach. Hope is is helpful. Best, -john

You are very welcomed! Thanks for watching!

Based on what I've heard from others living in the city, all of the carriers should work well within that NY region. That said, there could be dead spots in specific areas, so I would definitely recommend asking people that work/live in the different areas of the city you plan to travel for their experiences. Sorry I can offer a more definitive answer. Best, -john

Hi @AladeVideo - Thank you for watching! -john

Hi @djvoicy1653 - I would go with an SD card with a V30 UHS-I rating - in whatever size makes sense for your production needs. As far as specific brands go, I usually stick with either SanDisk and ProGrade, but there are many other quality brands on the market. Best, John

Hi @Gitago - Dynamic values are just text storage slots. If you need to store multiple values in a single Dynamic Value, you can write them out and read them as an XML formatted block. This will require a bit of scripting to make it work but is definitely doable. We did a show that covered this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7yaq6Zh3bOwqGw.html Good luck! Best, John

Hi @BillAshtonNelo - Your support means a lot, thank you for watching!

You are very welcome @BillAshtonNelo! Thanks, John

Audio issues are difficult to diagnose without a lot of context. If the issue you are dealing with is related to noise in the environment you are streaming from, using something like a noise gate or expander could help. Another approach could be using a unidirectional microphone on a headset - something like the DPA 4066. If the noise is more electronic or distortion based, you will need to work through your audio signal chain to find out where you are either amplifying noise with a low signal level or clipping because of a high signal level. Good luck tracking this down! Best, John

That is a change from when we put the slides together for this show. Thanks for letting me know. I'll reach out to them to confirm their pricing on Hive - not sure what motivated the published increase. Thanks, John

Hi @spatialoptic - While the $299US Studio Version is an incredible value, it may not make sense for everyone. That said, I would encourage people to download and try out the free version. It does 85% of what the studio version does, and can work in so many aspects of a production pipeline. With version 19, it is also possible to get the Studio version for $5/month - it comes included with the Blackmagic Cloud subscription! Thanks for being a part of this community! Best. John

Hi @SeanTolan_illuminated_imaging - There are many things in technology that can initially seem complex or confusing. This is often because we lack the general context or framework needed to map them to real world requirements. Getting that context becomes like an "Ahh Hah!" moment that open up the possibilities of how they can be applied. Without trying to sound like too much of a geek, those are really great moments. Thank for sharing this! -john

@@StreamingAlchemy I had a moment coding class where I finally got everything to work, and I waited to test the code after a ton of failures (Sorry this code does not pass), and waiting for sec before running it....and...submit...it worked! I literally lept out of my seat "WOOOOHOOO!". In that moment I had entered into the world of nerd excitement...lol

I was wondering the same thing

Hi @ntchi - As of version 18 of the Ultra Software (the current version at the time I'm writing this) , each audio source in the mixer only has level and delay controls - no EQ's or Compression yet. Yololiv does fairly frequent updates, so it is possible this might be added in the future. Thanks for watching! -j

After 5 months of testing out three Yolobox Ultras every single one has terrible audio components. I can not trust their audio levels or hear the audio correctly on the device due to faulty product design and cheap audio components.

@@timreha ya I think the audio part is not well designed indeed. Headphones preamps are weak also

Hi @bykevinmack - When configuring the ISOCorder you can only configure one input to record at 4K30. Along with that 4K recording, you can also ISOCord three 1080p30 feeds or one 1080p60 feed. I tried lowering the bitrate on the 4K recording to see if that made a difference, but wasn't able to assign more than one feed as 4K. Thanks for watching! -j

@@StreamingAlchemy What is the quality of the recorded video format? (1080p vs 4k). Are they h264/h265 8bit or 10bit in all isocording options, or only some?

@@StreamingAlchemy basically false advertising. Frank and his team and distributor know it and scam customers by omitting details on their website and advertising which is fraud.

Hi @GregoryyM - If you were to do this using triggers (which is definitely possible) it would limit your flexibility in using the inputs individually outside of this "introduction" use case. By separating the logic from the inputs by using scripting instead of triggers, you can then load any of the inputs into program and merge between them manually without triggering this sequence of actions. However, when the introduction sequence is needed, you can easily trigger the script. You can also create other scripts to manipulate the same inputs in different ways if desired. Thanks for watching! -john

Hi @onlive24x78 - The files have been uploaded:(drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Bvn5xHPEj5utQBWHF14UkuCSPeRKjtBR?usp=drive_link) Please check the README.TXT file for details on setting it all up. Thanks for watching! -j

Hi @benjones8046 - You can do this with scripting in a bit of an indirect way. Using the standard vMix data mapping with Data Source Manager, you can map the data in your Google sheet into a GTTITLE. You can also map the text color VALUE into a filed in the TITLE and just keep it hidden. You can then use scripting to read the values inside that title (They are part of the vMix XML), pull out the color value, and call shortcuts to change text color attributes in the TITLE using that value. We did a series of shows building out a Quiz Show framework that leveraged this concept to pull data from viewer comments: kzfaq.infoFlmJyuE9mes Hope this helps. Thanks for watching! -j

Thanks John. appreciate your reply. when you say "You can also map the text color VALUE into a in the TITLE and just keep it hidden" I'm not sure what you mean. Not sure if you can give any more context?

Hi @benjones8046 , When vMix is running, it updates XML that contains the state of all of the inputs and other data associated with the active vMix Preset. You can access it here: localhost:8088/api This is what we read and parse from our standard scripts to get any state related to vMix. Here is a snippet of XML from a GT-TITLE input: <input key="c7b24c4a-541f-4a72-8c9b-d6a2755f77eb" number="19" type="GT" title="GBTitle-Guests" shortTitle="GBTitle-Guests" state="Running" position="0" duration="0" loop="False" selectedIndex="0"> GBTitle-Guests <text index="0" name="NAME-GUEST1.Text">Frank Hawkins</text> <text index="1" name="NAME-GUEST2.Text">Open Seat</text> <image index="0" name="Image1.Source">521c5919-cc8b-4807-9c6c-4769ee889bf4\vMix Capture 29 September 2023 17-26-57.png</image> </input> You can see from this that I can see the value of all of the named items in the template - In this title you can see two guest names and the values assigned to them. You can simply turn visibility off for any item inside of the GT-TITLE but still have access to the item. The image in the above XML is actually hidden - it's a background image we used to layout the text elements. This is how you would assign the color value - create a not visible item and map the color value to it in Data Source Manager, then use a script to read it and change the color of any other item in any title using that value. I know there are a fair number of steps to execute this, but hopefully this clarifies a bit about what I was saying. Best, -j

Hi @SeanTolan_illuminated_imaging - When we cover a topic, we try to deconstruct it into a set of simpler goals and steps, and then role those completed goals up into a more complete solution. Some shows are more successful than others in achieving that, but that is our aspiration. We are grateful that you take the time to watch and welcome any feedback you have! -j

Hi Brandon - it is possible to change the script so the control settings are adjusted with the keyboard- eg using arrow keys. It is really about having a mechanism for changing core values in the script - whether dials or key presses. Hope this helps. -john
