# Plugins Overview

Plugins let you extend what Mixlar Mix can do beyond the core features.\
They are currently **experimental** and are focused on improving the user experience and making your setup feel tailored to how you work, create, or play.

  Their features and behavior may change between updates as we continue refining the system.

# Mixer Overlay Plugin

The **Mixer Overlay** plugin places a **small, customizable overlay directly on your PC screen**, giving you at-a-glance feedback without ever looking down at your Mixlar Mix.

### What the Overlay Can Show

* Real-time slider movement
* Volume levels
* Mute/unmute indicators
* Macro trigger flashes
* Spotify now-playing (if enabled)
* System or profile changes (depending on settings)

This is extremely helpful when:

* Gaming in fullscreen
* Streaming
* Using multiple monitors
* Editing or working without direct sightline to the mixer

### Customization Options

Inside **Settings → Plugins → Mixer Overlay**, you can adjust:

* **Position** — place it in any corner or custom location
* **Size** — scale the overlay larger or smaller
* **Transparency** — make it subtle or bold
* **Fade timing** — auto-hide or always show
* **Enabled elements** — choose which sliders or statuses appear

The overlay runs completely locally and does **not** record or broadcast your screen — it is purely visual feedback.

# Adobe Creative Cloud Plugin

The **Adobe Creative Cloud** plugin integrates Mixlar Mix with compatible Adobe applications.

### What It Can Do

* Tie sliders to timeline zoom, scrub, or supported parameters
* Assign macros for editing shortcuts like cut, ripple delete, mark, export
* Trigger workflow actions from your mixer
* Improve editing speed and muscle memory

You can enable the plugin under:

**Settings → Plugins → Adobe Creative Cloud**

Note: Adobe API access varies by version, so features may expand over time.
