Pros

  • I also love how they are always working with new and bleeding edge technologies, and always adding new capabilities to the platform. The built in remote calling feature is also pretty amazing.

  • The fact that that is included without extra costs is somewhat mind blowing in itself. The smoothness, ease, and reliability with which that feature works is just great.

Cons

  • My biggest complaint would probably be lack of outputs and aux busses.

  • Besides, I really miss the option to import PDF's, and can't understand why this feature is missing.

"Head and shoulders above the rest in terms of value and features."

Overall: I live stream weekly services for a small church. vMix has never let me down.

Pros: The ability to add presets for cameras and fully control the cameras (ptz cameras) completely from vMix is outstanding.

Cons: The fact that it has sort of morphed in to a subscription model.

Switched From: OBS Studio
Reasons for Switching to vMix: OBS didn't have the features I needed and it was not as easy to train volunteers.

"Good for first-time mixer"

Pros: VMix has been a good product for our church to use as the initial production software we used for livestreaming, especially since many on our team were not familiar with livestream production prior to using vMix. It helped us send our stream to multiple platforms at once, like Facebook and our website.

Cons: As someone who is not regularly in the world of production and an organization that mainly utilizes volunteer help, I found there can be a steep learning curve to vMix (for our situation).

"Sympli, the best streaming software"

Overall: I'm a live events producer. Sometimes I produce two person interviews and sometimes full day forums with tenths of participants, videos, PPT's. etc.

Pros: I love how easy it is to add inputs of any kind and setup destinations in vMix. This is a very stable software that works fine every single time, and you can rely on your production with confidence. I like the SRT and how you can add inputs and send outputs using this protocol, and, of course, NDI, which is, for me, the future of broadcast.

Cons: In a perfect word, vMix could allow us to import PPT's with transitions and animations (one of the biggest concerns of my clients, who hates to lose those after import). Besides, I really miss the option to import PDF's, and can't understand why this feature is missing.

Alternatives Considered: Wirecast
Reasons for Choosing vMix: I think that vMix interface is more intuitive than Wirecast, and also, the settings for streaming and recording. I can't tell you why, but I feel more confident using vMix than Wirecast in my productions.
Switched From: OBS Studio
Reasons for Switching to vMix: OBS is nice and makes the job, but when do you need more control over every input, multiple cameras, NDI, SRT and so on, vMix is the obvious next step in your setup.

"One of the best, professional, most complete video mixing and broadcast systems available today."

Overall: I love using vMix. I remember when I first came across it, I was just blown away by everything it could do, while still being extremely reasonably priced. They could probably charge two to four times what they currently charge for it, and it would be justified. I've seen people using it in professional news stations, college and high school sports and broadcasts departments, live-streaming, and more. I got into using it for live-streaming. Started a trial to use it while we were waiting on a tri-caster to be shipped. After a week or two of using vMix, we decided to just sell the tri-caster and never really used it. Lately I've been using it to record and produce a podcast show. It is the central hub for which we cut, mix, bring in remote callers, and record the show, and it works so well for that.

Pros: vMix is such a wonderful program. It blows similar, way more expensive programs off the map. The amount of features that they have packed into this one single package, and how well it performs with this many features and functions is incredible. It's not uncommon to have sub par features or features that suffer to perform well when you have an app that tries to do many different things, but that isn't the case with vMix. It does most things excellently and generally performs with out flaws. It handles a ton of various types of inputs with ease. It works fantastically mixing and cutting these inputs together. Integrates NDI and other networking technologies really well. Is great with live-streaming, and integrates so easily with different streaming platforms. I also love how they are always working with new and bleeding edge technologies, and always adding new capabilities to the platform. The built in remote calling feature is also pretty amazing. The fact that that is included without extra costs is somewhat mind blowing in itself. The smoothness, ease, and reliability with which that feature works is just great.

Cons: My biggest complaint would probably be lack of outputs and aux busses. If they could add a couple of more output busses, and have the ability to add another M/E or aux output to easily to have submixed outputs, that would make this basically perfect.

Reasons for Switching to vMix: The features, ease of use, and how well it worked blow the tri-caster system away.

"100% Deep Insight About vMix"

Overall: I really recommend those media production team to try using out vMix. It is not complicated and you could easily learn it with having some tutorials. Been using this for the past 2 years and is pretty cool. I'm very fond of this software and it gives enjoyment every time it has new updates specifically with their Title/XAML menu. Overall I'll give this software a 2 thumbs up from my hand and feet. 10 out of 10.

Pros: It's a great software especially for us people working on media production. The animation itself speaks awesomeness. You can definitely stream lived online with it and has a lot of unique features. I was able to edit this in real time when streaming and one of the coolest thing is the color correction for Chroma key, Desktop capture in order for you to insert any software that you want to insert in your screen, you can attach your camera's and even audio inputs. You will literally enjoy exploring the vMix software and is user-friendly. You can easily used it and don't forget to watch their video tutorials on youtbe.

Cons: Probably one of the cons that I've noticed here in vMix software is sometimes when I load the preset the sets at the bottom part doesn't appear or would turn out gray and I'm having a hard time which is which since I wasn't able to see or determine the said video that I've put, good thing there is a preview screen that you could look on to but it'll give you a delay.

"In my opinion this the best streaming software around"

Overall: I love this software because it's easy to use on multiple platforms and it offers quality.

Pros: What I love most about this software is its ability to record life and mix at the same time.... it really helps when it comes to talking show shoots, we don't have to record first then edit later, Vmix has made it convenient and fast. The fact that I can use my own custom-made lower thirds in my live streams makes it really great. It also Integrates well with Zoom.

Cons: The one thing I least like about Vmix is that you need a Machine with very high specs otherwise it will keep on hanging and dragging.

"VMIX, le mélangeur vidéo des professionnels!"

Pros: vMix est un logiciel complète pour la production vidéo en direct avec des fonctionnalités comme le mixage, l'enregistrement et la diffusion en haute définition allant jusqu'à 4k, des différentes sources telles que les fichiers vidéos, les fichiers audios, les caméras, les images, … Grâce à ce logiciel, on pourra s'en passer des matériels professionnels vraiment coûteux.

Cons: vMix n'est pas compatible avec les appareils portables. Le prix de la version Pro qui s'élève à 1200€.

Switched From: XSplit Broadcaster and Wirecast
Reasons for Switching to vMix: Le logiciel est certes, cher mais je le recommande à tous ceux qui en ont le moyen!

"vMix pour du streaming très professionnel"

Overall: Avec vMix je vous conseille d'avoir un double moniteur pour être à l'aise dans la gestion de votre streaming

Pros: Les possibilités semblent infini, tout est possible, avec la plus grosse version on peut inviter jusqu'a 8 invité à distance et mixer des images, des logos, des vidéos et du multicam, ce qui rend les émissions très vivante et dynamique

Cons: Plus vous découvrirez les fonctionnalités de vMix et plus vous allez avoir tendance à en rajouter et complexifier vos présentation, c'est bien mais il faut être capable de tout retenir, cela ne dépend que de vous

Alternatives Considered: Zoom Workplace
Reasons for Choosing vMix: Pour les possibilités incroyable que propose vMix, sa flexibilité et sa stabilité même avec beaucoup de scènes et de contenue, il tient vraiment la route pour peu que vous ayez un ordinateur puissant
Switched From: OBS Studio
Reasons for Switching to vMix: Parce que OBS est limité dans les fonctionnalité est n'est pas aussi stable que vMix

"Tito Review vMix"

Overall: By using vMix, I can deliver my online event in a more professional way just like in tv show. As the competition to deliver a high quality online event experience, vMix can help me to do it and increase the rate of our attendance and satisfaction.

Pros: vMix can deliver a high quality appearance for the show and it will be so pleasing for the event's viewers. The features such as making templates, multiple camera switching, and the other things can be so convenience for the event producer.

Cons: In some ways, in order to operating vMix the producer needs to studied it thoroughly. Some things are very technical and not user friendly. Might need to fix these issue.

Cons: I can’t think of a major con for this program.

"Vmix - Powerful, Flexible, and Versatile video production/mixing software"

Overall: Moving Video production to virtual workstations was necessary during the pandemic, a loss of production value was overcome with this software once introduced into our workflow.

Pros: Easy to use and set up. Integration into our existing workflow was simple and allowed us to overcome the hurdles of remote video production.

Cons: Direct RTMP ingest is not available without the use of third party software.

Reasons for Choosing vMix: Cost was reasonable including a 60 day trial period that allowed for a deep dive into the products features and usability. Ease of use and versatility made it a better candidate for our workflow. Excellent support and online community made it easy to learn and incorporate into our design.

"Uno de los mejores para hacer streaming "

Pros: Tenemos la necesidad de transmitir semanalmente reuniones y conferencias a través de redes sociales y vMix nos asegura éxito en la tarea de streaming. Es una aplicación increíble que permite una variedad de ángulos de cámara, transiciones y efectos. La mejor parte es que tiene una simplicidad que hace que sea fácil de usar sobre la marcha. ¡Definitivamente lo recomiendo para cualquiera que busque un software de transmisión en vivo completo!

Cons: Por ahora todo funciona bien. Es costoso pero vale la inversión
