Running vMix UI on a 1920 x 1080 screen is a bit of a pain. We often do solo corporate productions or sport with a single laptop or screen, there seems to be a limit to how small we can make the program and preview windows. I do not understand why there is a limit and request it be removed.

In the default sizing on a 1920 x 1080 screen I can only see one line of inputs. It is impossible to see any replay events without undocking the replay window and then having to switch between everything. as seen here:

I have noticed on my 2k laptop display that I can make the preview and program windows much smaller, making much more real-estate at the bottom of the screen to see replay events or more inputs/ audio faders etc.

Similar to this:

My request is that we be given the power to reduce the size of the preview/ program window as we see fit to allow flexibility for different production scenarios.

Looks like your screen's DPI is set far too high for a 1920x1080 display, hence why everything is so big.

I think the better request would be to stop requiring hard resize sizing... allow dynamic resizing and do not snap to predetermined heights. Same for input preview sizing... allow any value...

I didn't have a 1920 x 1080 (only 1920 x 1200) display connected so I was trying to fake it for the screen shots. Display scaling is set to 100%. In any case I would love to be able to move the line below the preview/ program up further than it will currently let me. If I want the Preview and Program the size of a postage stamp for some scenarios (eg using a Multiview to switch from) that would be great!

I realised I can set the 1920 x 1200 to 1920x1080 to show you (Scalling set to 100%)

As you can see the Replay part is unusable, the UI will not let me shrink the Preview/ Program any more than this. Ironically if I reduce the width of the UI it will shrink the preview/ program smaller and give me some more vertical room.


Ideally It would be great to free move the UI to anything I like. Small preview, large program kind of like how video editing software lets you move things around, But I would take being able to move the line higher.
