7c: The Mixer Page - Using Presets

On the mixer page, just below the live window you'll find the Presets Toolbar.

You can save up to 4 presets, which you can then quickly recall while your broadcast is live.

Saving a Preset

To save a preset, create the layout you want on your main window. You can do this with Live Inputs, or use the Placeholder function to create the layout before you have live connections. (You can then assign the Placeholders to live connections later.) 

In this case I have added four Placeholder Inputs and put them live to screen using their individual [+] buttons.

Nb: The reason there is a warning bar to say Preview - (changes not synced) is because I have the Auto-sync turned off in the Mixer Settings.

If you want to create new Presets during a Live Broadcast, it is best to do this so you are not being broadcast live as you make new layouts. 

When you are happy with a layout, click the Number of the Preset you wish to save it to, and then click on the Save Icon:

You will receive a notification to say the Preset is Saved. 

To recall and use the preset during a broadcast, click on the number of the preset you wish to put to screen, then click the green Take button.

Renaming a Preset

To rename a preset so you can find it easily later, click on the Number of the preset you wish to rename.  Then click the Edit button:

You can now give the preset a new Preset Name using the text entry box.

Click Confirm Changes to save it.

Once you have renamed a preset, it will show you the new name when you hover your mouse over the Preset Button:
