It has been a while, but I believe I had to do the following.

1. backup Media files used for production.
2. backup Presets that are in use, these were located in my documents folder
3. export your shortcuts and settings from vMix, found at the bottom left in the settings window.

I think that is the bulk of it. can't remember needing anything else...

Put your media in exactly the same folder (structure) as on your old computer.

Hi

If your new computer has a different Drive structure you'll need to do some "finding and replacing" in your preset file(s).

For example, if your main vMix program is in C: and all of your other vMix files are in D: -- and it's the same with your new computer. Then you're okay. No problem.

In my case, my old computer had my vMix program files in C: and my other vMix files in D:
But my new computer had my vMix program fiies in C; and my other vMix files in E:

So I had to use notepad (actually notepad PLUS PLUS to do a fine and replace in my present file(s) to make that change from "D" to "E". (First I made a backup of my original preset file(s).
