@bardos59, I too would like to have the audio mixer settings remembered, but is that not rather a new feature request (outside of this topic's discussion)?
Martin, Thanks for a new beta! Here are my first impression and thoughts on the things I have looked into so far.
The help is still v12, do you wait with it until the first release?
Quote:* Support for Dual Fullscreen Outputs (4K Edition). These can be configured as Preview/Program, MultiView/Program etc
Sort of looks like these are available in sub 4K Editions. I guess they are not, so maybe the second one should be greyed out?
(Same goes for the External output/s)
Quote:* New audio engine with input monitoring on headphones ("Solo" button), Compression and Gain on the main output
and separate configurable audio outputs for headphones and main mix.
Sounds (sic!) great. (Although still not possible to monitor in vMix if one uses an external mixer, I will explain that further in the
vMix Audio Discussion)
Quote:* New Add Input window with Icons
I like it a lot :)
Quote:* New Streaming window with selectable Providers and Quality profiles
Cool! Curious, if Mainconcept AAC plugin is installed, are there profiles for it?
Quote:* Change inputs on the fly while preserving all settings.
Extremely welcome feature!!
I wish there was a simpler/quicker way to change the source for at least Video, Image, Photos, and Audio.
As is now it is a multi-step operation, that obscures vMix's main window. The latter is a no-problem when building a new preset, but close to dangerous during live production.
I am attaching two mockups below that illustrate two variants. The first variant is more informative, but might easily result in a Cut (or whatever is set) instead of input source change. The second is perhaps better.
I would love to also be able to drag-and-drop a file in the input module, in order to set it as it's source.
Quote:* Missing capture inputs will show up as "Offline" allowing users to change to another device, or reset when the device becomes available.
Really smart solution.
Quote:* Custom Mouse Click action can be set in Input Settings
Great. I wish that if the default click action "Preview" was set to something else (than Preview) that the input's "Cut" button changed to "PreView". It is always important to get an input into preview.
I also think there might rise a need for some kind of visual feedback of which action is set.
Quote:* Title Editor supports changing Images
Is the editor automatically updated when v13 is installed, or how does one know which version is running?
I still don't get the background image properly filled in the Title Editor on my Win 8.1 PC (works on a Win7).
Quote:* Added recent Presets dropdown box
Useful, perhaps having the most recent on top is a more standardized sorting order.
Quote:* Streaming Start button added to main window
Viola! Maybe Streaming should not go into green before the stream is actually out and streaming.
Quote:* Added right click options to Photos input to view source folder and refresh photos
Much appreciated, but what's the point with "view source folder"? And I guess that refresh is needed since Window's does not ping vMix if files are added/removed.
Quote:* New Shortcuts: StartStreaming, StopStreaming, Snapshot
Perfect!
And here are the mockups for easier input source changes.
This variant shows current file in use, and a drop down to change file.
In this variant the "Audio" is replaced with icons for changing source, refreshing the list, and audio. The latter does what "Audio" does today (actually not relevant for image and photo inputs.
