Hi, I´m new here and with vMix, so please be patient of me :-)

vMix seems to be exactly what I´m loooking for. But I would like to know, if there is any way, how to play AVI, MPEG, MP4 video(or some other supported format) with external subtitles in .srt, .ass, .txt (or similar) format.
I would really appreciate this function.

Thanks
Andreanus

Not sure I understand the question...
Are you asking:
Can you add subtitles with those file extensions to videos during playback?
AFAIK the answer is no.
You can import image files (*.jpg,*.bmp,*.png) to use as overlays
PowerPoint slides
Flash files
Or create your own Titles with the vMix Title Designer (*.XAML)
But there is no direct input for those file extensions.

Dear Andreanus
I have not try it, and do not know if this can be work on Vmix
Normaly, some codec like FFDSHOW can call a SRT/ASS/TXT file, when you do the correct setting. So when you play the video file, with the sub file with the same name as the video file, he call it and you see the subtitle. I have used this funzionality with TMPGEnc ; but you must force the Software to use an external code and not is native Codec. This functionnality work till windows Seven. If your Computer is under windows 8, it is not easy to force windows to use exetrnal codec when you play a file, Sometime he get it and some time not.
If you are using windows Seven, try to install K-Lite Mega Codec Pack, and force windows to use this codec (FFDSHOW) for all file and set that the codec must be able to load a Sub file
At that moment, lunch Vmix and See if Vmix see your codec in the DECODERS SETTING. If yes, choose it and try. If this work, Ok for you, but if not ... Good luck

You could use vlc to stream the video with the subtitles to vmix... of course that is a little more complicated
