Replace Your Crawl Using vMix Script
Crawls (also called News Tickers) are a standard way of sharing ancillary information with viewers without interrupting the main program they are watching. They are a staple of sports, news, and financial programs – and can even be used to show sponsorships or advertising during streamed events.
The crawl/ticker found in vMix provides a basic capability to display information this way but has limitations when more specific control of the feed is needed. On today’s show, we will use vMix Scripting to replace crawls with a ‘paged data’ approach. This script will read a CSV file with multiple rows of sports information and write it into a GT-Title displaying 4 data elements at a time, labeled with the category the data belongs to. It includes a configurable delay between each set of data, and will loop back and start again after the last record is displayed.
If you'd like to access any of the scripts used during our shows, here is the link to our Streaming Alchemy GitHub Repository:
