I am a huge fan of vmix and have achieved great things in a short time.

But the title designer is just embarrassing...

Please please please can we bring this application into the 21st century. It has to be the most frustrating and poorly designed application I have ever used. It is missing some really basic features such as undo and generally needs a makeover. Love to see more text controls and better control of layout.

What would be even better is if you could control this from within vmix rather than use a separate application.

Titles are a really important and fundamental part of live mixing so this really needs bringing up to scratch.

Hi (again)

Such feature request is already pending. I think it's better to group requests than to spread them into multiple ones.

Maybe you can +1 this one.

Just my opinion

The vMix title designer is rather barebone but for quick and still pretty good looking titles it's ok (so one isn't stuck with the provided ones )

For even better graphics in them use photoshop or other drawing software to add in the designer

Want to design some better personalized, animated with added functionalities using Blend (XAML) is a way to go

Want specialized pro ones get out a checkbook ;-)

Thing is there will always be a design wanted than one or the other on its own will not be able to cater for

Microsoft expression blend 4 link

Visual studio includes Blend also (newer versions)

Analyze existing titles to learn the XAML code details (animations)

There are quit a few posts with examples in the forum

First I have never used Blend. Excited to check it out.
Second on a different thread they said don't use Blend 4 use Blend 3 as it still has import features that I guess were stripped out.

I wanted to make sure to add that in case Blend 3 was still available and was indeed better.

Thanks @doggy for the links.
