Hello , I want to use the Behringer x touch as an external controller with Vegas Pro 22 . I managed to get it work in Mackie Emulation Mode for most of the audio functions and transport . But what I really want it to use for, is to control the opacity of the video channels. This I haven´t figured out ands couldn´t find any information. It seems in the Mackie control you can flip the function from audio to video if you press a certain button . Couldn´t figure out how to do this with the Behringer. Has anybody experience with that and could give me some instructions how I can control the opacity ? I would be very grateful .

I have a Behringer X-touch compact. When in Mackie mode, it is all audio and transport controls, not video. If you want some video control, you could try running it in MIDI mode and program the knobs/encoders, etc to control some video functions. But in Mackie, it's audio.

Ok , thanks for the info. I just thought if it´s possible to control video with the Mackie it should be somehow also possible with the Behringer in Mackie mode. I tried the generic mode already but Vegas reacted very strange when I assigned for example the faders . Anybody has experience with that ?

Just to be sure, did you change your X-touch to MIDI mode as well?
