This tutorial shows you how to get a vMix format virtual set to appear in vMix itself. You can get all our main studio sets in vMix format here in the store : Virtual Studio Sets STORE.
A vMix virtual set is basically a folder of images, along with a configuration file that tells vMix where to position each layer, and in what order. You need to copy that folder into the directory where vMix stores all its virtual sets.read more

We’ve been asked to explain how to remove the lecturn in the vMix versions of Studio 12. You might want to do this if you’re using a real lecturn or pulpit, and just want to see the church background, but not the ‘virtual’ lecturn.
This tutorial describes how to hide a vMix layer, and also how to change the size and position of a layer. You can do this for any of our virtual sets, not just Studio 12!

We’ve had a couple of enquiries asking if it was possible to change the skyline image in the vMix versions of Studio 9 and Studio 9B. The answer is yes! It’s easy!
ALL our vMix sets have dynamic layers for the screens and also the skyline outside the window.
This means you can easily select your own source input from within vMix itself.

If you want to use our sets with OBS, choose the version that includes PNG images (it will be labelled Photoshop + PNG format). The sets are supplied as separate image layers that include transparency, so you can either add them one by one to OBS to create your studio set, or use one of the ready-made ‘quick start’ backgrounds.

In this first video we show you how to use the ready-made backgrounds that come included with our ‘Photoshop / PNG format’ virtual sets.
(more about file formats here : Virtual Set Tutorial : file formats).
All our virtual sets are available as a multi-layered Photoshop document, and you also get separate PNG images for each layer, plus at least one ready-made background where all the layers are already merged into a ‘quick start’ single image.

UPDATE: We have added some ready-made background layers that are perfect for getting started quickly with Datavideo’s Virtual Set Maker.

As well as building your virtual set using PNG layers, you could also import the Photoshop version directly into After Effects. When you import the .psd as a composition into After Effects you will find that any camera angles appear as nested compositions, each with every layer in the correct order, and with further nested comps in place for all the relevant groups.
It can sometimes be quite an unwieldy solution, but is is entirely feasible to get everything into After Effects this way.

OK – so how do you get your talent to rest their hands on the virtual desk..??
Well, there’s a couple of different ways to approach this…
The first is (naturally enough) to use a real desk or desktop. This way both the talent and the desk/top are ‘real’ and can be keyed over the top of any virtual elements below. You’ll need to make sure you can surround the entire desk or desktop with green, which might not be possible in some smaller studios. Also, you’ll need to make sure that the live input you’re using for your talent is appearing in front of the virtual desk elements – some TriCaster sets will have Input A behind the desk. Not ours though – we give you BOTH options!
Alternatively, you can sit your talent behind a green desk. They can then lean on it, leave their papers or tablet or laptop on it and the desk surface will be keyed out with the rest of the background.

ALL our virtual sets that feature a skyline outside the window will ALWAYS have an example skyline as a separate layer that you can replace with an image (or video) of your own!
It’s just one of the MANY ways you can customize our virtual sets. Perhaps you’d like to see a picture of your own town or city outside the window, or maybe even create different versions for multiple clients of your own!

Some time ago we added some extra TriCaster input layers that you could add to your Studio 1 Photoshop documents which provided additional customisable areas on the front of the desk, and on each of the back walls on the wide angles where you could place your own logos, or live video.
These extra layers are now included in the TriCaster versions of Studio 1 and Studio 1B.

It is pretty crucial to get your talent framed correctly in ANY virtual studio – the viewer is smart enough to notice when something doesn’t look quite right, and getting your talent even slightly the wrong size can break the illusion very quickly.
We thought it might be useful to show you an image showing the wide angle view of Studio 1 with some guide silhouettes sitting around the desk.

Here’s a little diagram showing the height and diameter of the circular desk in virtual Studio 1. This may be useful if you are building your own green-screen desktop to allow your talent to more realistically lean on, or interact with the virtual desk.

Every single-angle virtual studio from virtualstudiosets.com has a ‘TriCaster’ option. This will give you a Photoshop file that you can import into Vizrt’s (formerly NewTek’s) Virtual Set Editor, or VSE. If you decide to purchase a number of separate camera-angles, it is very easy to combine them into a single Photoshop document, so that when you import it into VSE, you have all those angles available together. This tutorial takes you through that process.

Some virtual studios from virtualstudiosets.com have the potential for more than 2 live sources. Some TriCasters will have only two live inputs available, while others (e.g. TriCaster 8000) give you four live inputs into Tricaster virtual sets. This is a quick tutorial explaining how our virtual sets appear once you’ve imported the Photoshop file into Vizrt’s (formerly NewTek’s) Virtual Set Editor (VSE). read more
