Production Scenes
Production scenes let you save a complete mixer state — which source is on program, which overlays are active, and the audio mix — and recall it with a single tap. They’re like snapshots of your entire production setup that you can switch between during a live show.
How production scenes differ from composite scenes
| Production Scene | Composite Scene | |
|---|---|---|
| What it saves | Program source, active overlays, audio levels | Multi-source layout (PiP, grid, etc.) |
| Purpose | Quick recall of full mixer states | Multi-camera compositions |
| Switching | Changes the entire mixer at once | Acts as a single source |
Production scenes are ideal for shows with repeating setups — for example, switching between a “host talking” state and a “demo with lower third” state.
Creating a production scene
From a template
- Open the Scenes panel
- Tap + next to Production Scenes
- Choose From Template
- Select a template:
| Template | Description |
|---|---|
| Camera Only | Single source on program, no overlays |
| Camera + Lower Third | Source on program with a text overlay active |
| Camera + Logo | Source on program with an image overlay active |
| Camera + Countdown | Source on program with a countdown overlay active |
- Name the scene and assign sources
Capture current state
- Set up the mixer exactly how you want it — program source, overlays, audio
- Open the Scenes panel
- Tap + next to Production Scenes
- Choose Capture Current
- Name the scene
The scene captures the current program source, all active overlays, and the audio mix state.
Recalling a scene
Tap a production scene in the list to activate it. pMix applies:
- The saved program source (with a transition)
- The saved overlay state (which overlays are on/off)
- The saved audio mix levels
The currently active scene shows a LIVE badge.
Managing scenes
Long-press a production scene for options:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Edit | Modify the scene’s program source, overlays, or audio levels |
| Duplicate | Create a copy of the scene |
| Rename | Change the scene name |
| Delete | Remove the scene |
You can also drag scenes in the list to reorder them.
Tips
- Capture your key states early — Before going live, set up each look and capture it as a scene
- Name scenes by content, not source — “Interview” is more useful than “Camera 2” during a live show
- Combine with composite scenes — A production scene can reference a composite scene (like PiP) as its program source, giving you one-tap access to complex layouts with overlays
