Best practices

• Use consistent, descriptive variable names in title templates.
• Keep critical fields (e.g., lower-third name) separate from optional fields to avoid accidental overwrites.
• Use image placeholders and validate image paths/URLs before going live.
• Limit the number of simultaneous updates to avoid overwhelming the vMix API.
• Maintain versioned template backups in case of template corruption.
• Test network latency between UTC and vMix—use the same LAN for lowest lag.
• For remote setups, secure the vMix API (use VPN or SSH tunnel) and avoid exposing ports publicly.
