FEATURE REQUEST: Title Layer Preset Tally #204

Open obcocav opened 1 year ago

obcocav commented 1 year ago

Would it be possible to add Tally feedback for which Title preset index is selected? I have a list of reusable Title text presets that I can select fine but would love to have tally/feedback for which is currently selected on the button. Thanks!

You can already do this using the input_X_layer_Y_titletext variable (where x is the input name, number, or GUID, and Y is the index of the text in the title starting at 0), and the internal: Variable: Check value feedback.

For example, if I had an input called title1, and it had 2 text items, the first being headline, the second description, and I wanted to match the headline I would use internal: Variable: Check value with a variable vmix:input_title1_layer_0_titletext, with the operation =, and the Value in the feedback would be what I would want it to match, and if the variable matches that value the feedback is triggered.

Is that what you're after or am I misunderstanding what you would like?

Thanks Jeff!  That will definitely accomplish what I want I think.  But I was thinking if it was linked to the preset selected that it would be simpler in the sense that editing the preset wouldn’t break the feedback.  I’ll try out that method though and see how it works. Sent from my iPhoneOn May 27, 2023, at 07:02, Jeff Martin @.***> wrote: You can already do this using the input_X_layer_Y_titletext variable (where x is the input name, number, or GUID, and Y is the index of the text in the title starting at 0), and the internal: Variable: Check value feedback.

I've had some time to look in to this more, and Title Presets are not exposed on the vMix API, neither what presets there are or which one is currently active.
