At the risk of being a killjoy, Martin has addressed this many times in the past. Please read here: http://www.vmix.com/know.../7/can-vmix-run-on-a-mac

Why? For an overpriced walled in platform that has 10% of the market.

Not trying to start a OS war, but I would really like to know why this would, at all, be compelling?
What do you think the MAC would bring to improve the product? Why would time be better spent porting the product than adding new features to the current one?


Best regards,
Steve

Well.... i am a windows guy way more than osx...
but a lot of pros want to use macs...
i am trying to sell a vmix system, and the way i can convince the buyer is
the use of a HP Z workstation with a 1080 GTX graphic card....
they dont want a costumized computer and...they hate windows.... :(
wirecast is cross platform... ( vmix is way better )
democracy is cross platform...

Metal is the same as direct3d is , but on macs...

I agree with Stevepaw 200%. The time would be way better spent on improvements and features for Win Platform. Unless vMix is bought over by Adobe or similarly large entity, I imagine it would be difficult for Martin to dedicate resources to two platforms. Stop waiting for a Mac version and hopefully convince your client that a PC/vMix solution is best.
