No bug report, but a positive feedback:

I was using vMix in the summer to playout several non-standard video files via SDI External Output to a LED Wall

Some where recorded with a mobile phone, some where just in the aspect ratio of the LED Wall.

With V25 those files weren't shown in the right aspect ratio so I had to use a template file with the correct ratio and stretch them until they were exactly in the right ratio.

With V26 this seems to be fixed and all non-standard video files are automatically shown in the right ratio. That is really helpful for many workflows.

Thanks for that!

Follow up on my testing My HD Basic System with an i7 and K4000 was brought to it's knees with a single Gaussian Blur on video. As I turn up the Blur my GPU throws Errors

This did not surprise me I just wanted to report back my additional testing experience My original testing on a still image did not have any issues. Video or moving images by comparison was a whole different story

Does the nVidia RTX(3050/60/70/80/90 & A4000/5k/6k) series have additional hardware to help with the Gaussian Blur. I know they added Ray Tracing and other things.

I am just wondering what the real world usage for Gaussian Blur is on a faster GPU. Can it handle 3,4,5 instances of the effect?
Also for me it was directly proportional as I raised the effect I crippled the GPU, as I lowered it back the system could handle it.

My 4 Input setup was 1 NDI, 2 Virtual Input of NDI, 3 Composite of Blur Input 2 and Non Blur Input 1. Input 4 was empty

I used a LUT which did not seem very GPU intensive and a Gaussian Blur to create a composite for a 9:16 Video on a 16:9 view.

Looked great except I could not blur too much.

Love the new effects.

That's funny because I spent half my day yesterday making the Black Sides Transparent with the LumaKey Punch out I would think having a Transparent side would give a lot more flexibility. I typically will MultiView(layer) if I need a solid background.

Yes i know what you mean. But many times in my live productions the talents want the videos full screen. Dont like multiview layers because they want for example to drink water or cough or look something in their phones etc.. They send me videos (we dont have director,producer etc) taken from mobile phones last moment (they are on the air and speak to tv audience and same time look their mobiles and send me videos for viewing) and then i need to download,overlay them and they voice over. For now i have a script that when a new video comes into vmix and it is 9/16 (thank you vmix team for correct aspect ratio because until now i loose extra time to go manually to video source and correct manually aspect ratio), makes a new input background black and to this new input overlays the 9/16 video so i have full screen video directly in overlay. But i would prefer personally to select it directly like photos slideshow (i had same script for photos until v24 but from v25 doesnt need it) to speed up a little more things

VB Cable is just an audio source in vMix like any other. It has not changed in 26.
If you do not see it in the mixer, then it has not been added as an input or the driver is not working and the input is offline as a result.

vMix Preview Update (26.0.0.20)

* Fixed new Mix activators
* Transition buttons will now highlight red during transitions
* Fixed Mix input UI not loading correctly from preset
* Audio Mixer settings now reset to default correctly when selecting New preset
* Copy/Paste buttons added to Input Position tab
* Input Names now update correctly on Mix inputs when changed

To update, run vMix Update, or use the download link again:

You may be behind a 3rd party firewall or security software that is blocking the update app unintentionally.
Download the installer from the above link instead.

Sugestion: disable copy/past buttons when Main is selected as it looks its only intended for between layers

Can simulate when setting the aspect ratio of the Mix itself wrongly set or mess with the main position settings of it

Martin and Tim (you know why, Tim),

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the position copy and paste!!

Best,
