After the update, vMix would start loading a project file but crash seconds later, without showing any error messages. If anyone is having a similar issue: check your audio plugin licenses. Even though nothing changed on our PC except the vMix update, something affected the link between Waves and vMix. To fix it, just open Waves Central > Settings > click Repair, and then Clear Central Cache. Everything worked smoothly afterward.

Software development generally uses 0 as the starting index.
The vMix API follows this convention.

User interfaces on the other hand generally uses 1 as the starting index.
vMix also tries to follow this convention.

At this point, there is no way to "fix" this without causing even more chaos for existing users, so I would suggest for things like scripting
to use mix variables with the UI number, and then always subtract one when inputting into functions.

Most likely the graphics card is not fast enough.
A high end GPU is required for blur, generally a 3050 or faster is recommended if you need 2x HD inputs (including virtual) to need a blur.

You can check GPU usage in Windows Task Manager.

How does vMix 26's new multi-track SRT audio support differ to the old multi-channel audio support?

I've had issues with the old multi-channel method where 8 channels of audio can work fine for an hour then suddenly go out of sync with the video, and with an added stutter. Stopping and restarting the SRT output on the sending side usually fixes it.

I'm wondering if the new multi-track feature will improve the reliability.

First of all, thanks for the update! :D Lot's of new goodies.

[EDIT: I apologize for that I initially did not understand that "Position dropbox" implies this new feature only applies to that particular setting in vMix. So my remarks below are mostly not really valid. But I leave them as they were in the hope that they address some related issues]

One of these is "Input names now appear in Input Settings - Position dropdown". A huge step forward, but causes a little bit of confusion on my end.

To begin with, it seems only to be true in some cases (e.g. when adding the SetOutputFullscreen shortcut) but not in Settings/Outputs or the Fullscreen dropdown on the main menu. (Anyone who knows me I would love to have it there, combined with a checkbox for "Assign Shortcut to Input number").

Furthermore, and maybe this is an old issue that I have not thought about before. When setting the shortcut SetOutputFullscreen it is possible to select an Input (with number and name), deselect "Assign Shortcut to Input number", AND specify another input by its name in the Value field. Seems the latter is ignored, but it would be logical if the Value field was dimmed in the new scheme of things.

On a side note, on the much improved Web help: /help still redirects to /help26 (but maybe that's with a purpose).

cheers,

The current shortcut limit is 300, do you have plan to have more than this?

Thank you

THANK YOU vMix team for adding the Alpha effect in 26.0.0.36!!!

What appears to be happening is that when you import a GT Title made in 25 or earlier, it's setting an underflowing line height when it gets read, so anything multiline, or requiring shrink, or bottom or middle vertically aligned will effectively have a line height of several thousand percent.

The current fix is to go through your GT titles with version GT Title Designer 26 and adjusting your line height on each text source, then saving and reloading in VMix.

Hi Martin

Please see the attached title for an example.

On the screenshot, the top picture is how it's supposed to look (bar the fact that the right fonts aren't installed on that machine) and taken in the last vmix 25. The bottom picture is how vmix 26.0.0.36 handles the same title.
