Import projects from other programs

NWK opens projects from other live production programs and brings cameras, audio, images, videos and titles into the open project.

Step by step

  1. Open the project menu (click the project name at the top of the window).
  2. Click “Import project (.vmix)…” and choose the file.
  3. Check the table with what will come in.
  4. If media is missing, click “Images and videos folder…” and choose the folder.
  5. Click “Import N input(s)”.
  6. Check each input before going live.

What it is

vMix is live production software for Windows. If you already have a project saved in it (.vmix file), NWK reads that file and creates the inputs for you, on Mac or Windows.

What comes in

  • Cameras and audio: by the device name on this computer. The device must be connected. If it is not connected, or is already in the project, the input is left out and the table says why.
  • Images and videos: NWK looks for the files by itself in the .vmix folder and its subfolders. If any are missing, the Images and videos folder… (N missing) button lets you choose where they are.
  • Titles: become an NWK lower third with the same text. The design of the original title does not come in.
  • The name of each input, the mute and the image crop come along.

The inputs are added to the open project, after the existing ones.

The table before importing

The table shows INPUT, TYPE and DETAIL for each item:

  • ✓: comes in as is.
  • ½: comes in partly (for example, the title becomes a lower third with the same text).
  • ✕: does not come in, with the reason next to it.

Playlist, shortcuts and other parts of the file appear as not imported. Input types that NWK does not import yet also appear in the list.

When to import

Import while off air. With a stream or recording in progress, NWK does not create the inputs.

Questions

The file was saved on Windows. Does it work on Mac?

Yes. NWK looks for the media by file name, so just copy the images and videos to the Mac and point to the folder.

The camera was left out. Why?

The device is not connected to this computer, or it is already in the project. Connect the camera and choose the file again with Choose another file….
