Hi,
I'm bumping this thread, would love to add some nice and light WebM overlays in my Vmix production !
I can't even add a WebM video file to Vmix, am i missing something ?
Thank you !

It works perfectly yes, been using Vmix for Hearthstone production with Vmix sending Alpha overlays to Tricaster with Vmix and it's perfect

For now i'm using Quicktime with PNG codec and it's okay, but WebM is really lighter so it would be easier on the system (altough with my 3 new Z620, i think they can handle it :) )

I have a "In" video transition for a scoreboard with a trigger which activate at the end to fade in names, scores and flag, so i'm looking to directly put the file into Vmix because it must start when scene load :)

What about the Newtek codecs? They support alpha, we use them all of the time.

Hello Martin,
are you considering for native Webm support in Vmix by any chance ? It would be awesome to have a lightweight codec with alpha support, it's already working great in Xsplit and OBS so i'm wondering if there is any reason it is not supported yet ? it's so practical.
Thank you for your time,
Cheers
Valentin

Can we please get this implemented? I have some really nice 1080p60 webm's that look really nice but NDI only supports 1080p30. Since it's been 2+ years since this topic was opened and OBS already has this implemented(almost from day 1), it's making it difficult to get things like stingers(with audio) and other animated overlays implemented(using multiview, overlay channels, or otherwise). Could really really use this feature in vMix. So far the way I've been able to implement it has been the following:

For a webm that needs to play on loop:
Create an html webpage that plays the webm as an html5 video(doesn't have to be hosted, just locally in the same folder as the webm video file): https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2000532 and add as a web browser input type

For a webm that needs to play as a video:
1) convert the webm to a PNG sequence using FFMPEG
2) use adobe after effects to add the PNG sequence, then export as Quicktime with RGB+Alpha and render as a .mov
OR
1) convert the webm to a PNG sequence using FFMPEG
2) rip the audio from the WEBM and use triggers in vmix to play the audio when the image sequence is needed

+1 bump for .webm support into vMix

.mov is always big in size and cause lag to the system when we have too many .mov as our alpha video to act as the Lower Third.

Sometime I have to switch to OBS just because our designer have limited time to render all the mov file and .webm file save alot of time.

And Yes! Please also please give us the more option to add more stingers!
And more overlay button instead of 4 for now.

Please help to implement our suggestion, it will definitely help us alot!

I agree wholeheartedly. I need this feature in my life. It would help my workflow so much and allow so many cool options for structuring shows.

Donezo. vMix 24.0.0.56

+1 I also think they should add webm
