Work has begun on vMix 12 which is expected to be released early next year.
There are also two major new features in the works which will not be revealed until shortly before NAB 2014!

Features

* Support for MOV and MXF files in vMix x64
* Input Triggers - Select one more actions when an Input finishes playback, such as fade to Preview.
* Select which inputs from a preset to load and append them to an existing session.
* Change name of capture devices
* Playback speeds saved in Presets
* Instead of selecting audio sources for Recording, Streaming and External Output, they will now all use a single audio source configured from Settings.
This will default to "vMix Audio" but a sound card input can be selected if you
want to do your own mixing.
* XAML support for two storyboards, one for "In" overlay animations and one for "Out"
* Set a video delay on each capture input independently of the "Video Delay" feature

Upgrade Note

Customers who have purchased vMix in the last 12 months will receive vMix 12 for free when it is released.
All other customers can purchase an upgrade for a fixed price of $59.

Neat! Just a reminder of a couple of minor ideas we'd discussed re web service calls:

- deterministic way to play / pause an input (as opposed to existing toggle),
- Way to read volume level of audio input (hedging - maybe can already?),
- Way to fade / vary volume of audio input over time,
- Precision of volume, i.e. real / fractional values allowed since noticable 'background' levels can be very close to 1 percent.

Apologies if anything here already implemented - writing from memory ;)

Also, not so much of a feature request, but it'd be great to have deeper knowledgebase info on Flash inputs, covering issues like stage size, transparency, frame rates, and any issues with specific components (I seem to have better luck with the legacy components than the newer Spark). This is a very cool but easily overlooked feature of vMix that dramtically expands the product's capability 'footprint', especially for developers willing to invest the time in ActionScript development. I haven't found any clear bugs over a pretty decent development cycle, but there's probably lots I don't know but should know, especially techniques for matching frame rates or using anti-aliasing to get the smoothest animations - scrolling text for example.

Thanks!

Hi Martin, are we getting floating windows as in vidblaster?......that would be so nice..the user can arrange the GUI to his or her style...a vertical "T" bar would also be nice..

Just my thoughts...

Same here! This is very important feature.

It would also be essential feature to be able to change container source and all other settings after it has been created.

Kind regards,

* Select which inputs from a preset to load and append them to an existing session.

Thank you!

Hey Martin . . . quick semi-related small request.

Can the preset also remember the last selected virtual set camera speed?

Thanks!

Hello,

Here is my wishlist:

1. Whenever OSX Keynote switches to Extended Desktop mode, the Desktop Capture stops working. If this could be resolved, it would open a whole new world for conference production.

2. Can you add additional resolutioins, such as 800x450 and 960x540 ? There is quite a large gap between 864x and 1024x.

3. Would it be possible to check audio by pressing the right mouse button similar to testing overlays? This would help much in cases when the live stream has been already started but we want to make sure that audio will be working.

4. Any chance we would be able to install Desktop Capture as a service on Windows? We have several 24/7 installations where lecturers just keep accidentaly closing the Desktop Capture.

5. Would it be possible to have more than one video delay per input? This would be useful to have, for example 5sec and 15sec delay possible for the same input.

6. Being able to start and stop the stream via web interface would make it it even more useful. At this point we have to create a custom made interface to start and stop the stream.

7. Introduce a checkbox for input “Automatically mix audio, mute other inputs”. This would be great for transitioning to commercials during the game, when other sounds have to be muted exactly at the same time.

8. I think right now when playing a video delay in Preview window, it always plays at 100%. Would be great if it used the speed set by the user.


I woulde also definately support these suggestions by other contributors:

1. Adding db scale to volume meter

2. Adding additional shurtcuts to increase, decrease, reset delay speed would be very useful.

Thanks and lookign forward to upgrade to v12,

This is a limitation of FMLE (which is what is being used to stream behind the scenes.)
You can double click the log window at any time to see the full log that is created by FMLE.

Thanks, I didn't know that.

In the file streaming/profil.xml I guess that both variables #DROPFRAMES#, #DEGRATEQUALITY# are set to true, even if I set DegrateQuality only in the Advanced menu. I got this error in the protocol:
"Tue Jan 14 2014 16:17:15 : Profile Warnings : 1. For Auto Adjust, enable either DropFrames or DegradeQuality. Enabling DropFrames."

Transitions within the List feature is a complex thing to implement due to duration problems with certain video formats.
(An MP4 might say it is 30 seconds long, but in actuality is 32, meaning vMix would transition too early in most cases)

If all you needed is a transition once the video has completely finished then that is simple enough, but i'm guessing you
want a cross-fade just before it finishes, in which case this is not really possible with many video formats as per above.

Anyway the following additional features will be available in vMix 12:

* MarkIn, MarkOut shortcuts.
* SetRate shortcut which can be set to 1 for 100%, 1.5 for 150% etc, or it can be set to +=0.5 -=0.5 etc to increase/decrease the speed by 50% each time.
The +=, -= format will also be possible with SetPosition so you can jump backwards or forwards.

* Separate Play, Pause shortcuts
* Separate OverlayIn, OverlayOut shortcuts
* SelectPlayList shortcut to select playlist by name.

* List shuffle and drag and drop editing
* Ability to Import and Export virtual sets after making changes

Plus two big secret features that will be announced at NAB 2014!
