There is one thing in vMix that has been bothering me for a while:

I often like to use vmix as a playout system for both lower thirds and full screen videos to a videomixer via cut&Fill over a decklink card.

There is one thing that doesn't work and I don't know if it is a bug or not possible and maybe it could be fixed with V29

  1. Add a transparent colour as an input.
  2. Put that input into program
  3. quickplay or take a full screen video
  4. try to fade the transparent colour into the pgm again. There is no fading transition to the transparent colour but just an ugly cut.


the only solution maybe to use the overlays to playout videos because then it works, but thats by far more complicated because you need to activate audio seperately with companion.

Look here for discussion and feature request:

If I understand you correctly, for your use case I would suggest to deactivate "Automatically Mix Audio" for the video input, and just leave audio on all the time.
