Good day Martin
Testing Version 12 now.
Did you get a chance to look at my suggestions on the Snap Shot Button in the New Feature section?

Hi Martin,
My SD license is more than a year old, I'm looking to upgrade to HD, will that count as a "new" purchase and give access to vMix 12 or will I still need to upgrade on top of that?

Thanks so much for all your work.

Hi martin,

can you get DNxHD MOV recording on the final version 12 ?

it would be great indeed !! :)

Best regards,

never sell your soul.

hi Martin,

I had a look at v12 and will continue testing. one aspect i am especially interested in it the recognition and naming of input cards. This remains an issue, because although you can rename the input, you still don't know which input is which, and these can vary with configuration.

example: I just test a configuration with 3 bm cards: mini recorder, mini monitor and shuttle/usb 3. they are all reported as decklink and number. but which one is which is a big issue. If i remove the sguttle it is still reported. the numbers can be different ( i named the cards on the back, but individual cards can not be recognized)

for professional use and for support of users with vmix systems in variable configurations naming should be linked to the specific card. It would be a great plus if vMix could follow bm naming as reported in the bm hardware configuration where cards are named as recorder, monitor and shuttle.

it has been reported here before and for professional use it is vital to find a sollution. in other words it's driving me €&@? sometimes and more importantly it takes time and is prone to lead to mostakes and problems if individual cards can not be uniquely distiguished within vMix and in variing configuration.

greetings, stefan

ps i have reported this problem before and linked a gechnique to add a friendlyname to a specific card. If vMix could read that, and or report another unique card identifier, then naming and labeling would be more easy. Best would be to be able to assign a unique name to the card which then is reported / selectable as a vMix capture input.

greetings, Stefan

These audio issue is still present in vMix12:

The master audio meter is always showed even if I uncheck the "Show master audio meter in main window".

When "Show audio meter next to inputs" is checked, also the VU meters of the capture inputs without audio are showed.
Is it possible that the VU meters only appear when the input has activated audio?

Recording has no selectable audio source anymore.
It is now recording vMix audio output.
What is reason of this?

(I am recording directly from my capture card without the need to add an audio input in vMix)

Please read through the changes above.
The audio source for recordings is now configured from the main vMix settings.

The audio delay is configured separately from the audio mixer.
Open up Input Settings and select Audio Settings
