VEGAS Stream keyboard shortcuts

Photo_G wrote on 12/6/2021, 10:09 PM

Are there keyboard shortcuts which allow for selection and play-in of specific VEGAS Stream graphics, other than the Control+Space and the Up and Down arrow key shortcuts? If so, I'd like to program them in to an Elgato Stream Deck profile to help drive a streaming presentation. Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately hotkeys are not exposed in VEGAS Stream at this time. That’s something NewBlue would like to add. What list of command actions would like to see exposed?

Ideally, assignable hotkeys for each graphic and transition for selection and play-in/out, as well as ones for media play-in/out and live video input switching (audio could just follow). This would allow much of a project to be automated in several ways (e.g., with an Elgato Stream Deck using the "SuperMacro" plugin) after launching a streamed/recorded project, leaving mostly only live/multi data and levels requiring mouse interaction during a stream if needed. The hotkeys would also need to work, even if VEGAS Stream is not the foreground application (if possible).

I'm not sure how others use Stream, but my primary use case is remote training where I create an essentially ordered list of graphics/media and transitions containing static text and images on opens, lower thirds, etc., so that I can play them in/out along with a script during the presentation. The ability to quickly and easily jump to a particular graphic while the VEGAS Stream window is in the background or minimized (i.e., I'm presenting a live demo on Zoom) would make things so much easier and is especially critical for those times when I have to go "off script" (which is almost always) - and I'd imagine that most users would also benefit from the flexibility, regardless of their use case. If it's not possible to have them work when the window is in the background or minimized, it would still be super helpful to have standardized shortcuts for various live functions.
