I love vmix, but in the next version can we make it more like a traditional switcher with me's. I think it would help when layering multiple effects.. I like the way Tricaster does it they show inputs 1-8 program and preview along with the me's. I'm not gonna lie that's the only thing I love about Tricasster is the interface. I know some might say just go buy a Tricaster, but the thing is Vmix is way more stable. alia271 attached the following image(s):  NewTek-TriCaster-460-UI.png (610kb) downloaded 58 time(s).You cannot view/download attachments.

Hi
vMix' way of handling ME is WAY better than traditional switchers. Maybe you just need to take time to experiment more and get used to it.
In vMix, each input is potentially a ME, that is to say you are not limited to 4 MEs only being to use some of the other inputs as in Tricasters or Atems or whatever.
Besides you can overlay up to 10 layers in each input (multiview mode) + add a multiview in a multiview + add up to 4 overlays (1, 2, 3, 4) on top of it...
Moreover you can use EXTERNAL or NDI outs to feed anything else in your workflow with any of your inputs (being used as a ME)
There's a reason why it's not called a ME in vMix: it's just so much more than a traditional ME
It's unconventional I agree but way better.

@ alia271
I agree with Guillaume, vMix offers so much more versitility, it's just a matter of adjusting your mode of operation.
For myself, I have gotten into the practice of setting up my presets with at least the first 8 Inputs as "Blank" (Colour Inputs) that I use to populate my Main Program Bus (essensially an M/E Bus) that I can customize to my liking while maintaining my "Shortcuts" to the first 8 (or more) Inputs and hence the MultiView Fullscreen Output (when necessary, but usually the Main UI acts that way during productions anyway).

What I am missing the most is a shortcut solution to change inputs in a multiview without having to open the multiview input settings window.

Excellent, I don't know why but I've never noticed that shortcut command.
Thanks a lot, Guillaume.

I know some might say just go buy a Tricaster, but the thing is Vmix is way more stable. Simple answer...NO! The wholesale re-engineering of the GUI is not a valid feature request. It's calling our baby ugly. If you like the traditional switcher metaphor, use a traditional switcher, or something that mimics one of those. In fact, someone has already written an app that presented a GVG style UI using the API to control vMix. Next someone will ask that the DVE be programmed in a manner that mimics an Abekas A57 ;-)
