Just to make sure that those suggestions (including mine) will not turn against us :)

we really need that all additional info on the external output to be optional (we voted for time info and the "recording status" is a great idea, too.)

We need that for the cases when we record the external output with a hardware recorder as a back-up recorder so we can record a clean image if needed.

Thank you,

Hi Martin,

Would it be possible to arrange the playback speed functionality also for the video input?

And if so, could you arrange shortcuts to adjust the speed (using the web interface) for both the video as the delay input? (if not, I also like to see shortcuts to adjust the speed of the delay :-)

Thank you,

Regards,

Hanno.

Hi All,

An additional feature being tested in v4 is native 64bit support.
The two main advantages of native 64bit support for vMix are:

* Better performance
* Larger Video Delay times. 16GB of ram would allow up to 2 minutes in full HD or 10 minutes in SD.

Both 64bit and 32bit versions of vMix will be included in a single installation so customers can choose which version is best for them.
QuickTime and some other codecs do not provide 64bit versions of their software so keep that in mind when deciding which version to use.
All other features will be available in both versions, including Flash and RTMP.

Martin

Hello, everyone,
Its really great to see such activity and many ideas. I have also compiled a list of wishes from my clients and our own live broadcasting teams (I will try not to repeat others):

1. add possibility to have delays for any input. in our case three camcorders

2. add possibility to save the current video delay to hdd. perhaps existing video list input could be used together with specific folder as video source and all video gets dumped there from RAM and automatically reloaded in video list, so it can be quickly used and its easy to play the right video? this is a must-have for sports events when after half time we want to show the best episodes

3. add possibility to use more than one output monitor (we often have cases when we want to take the advantage of DVI and HDMI output simultaneously)

4. add some borders for inputs, for example picture on picture with shadowy borders looks so much better

5. add checkbox to autostart-external and autolock the application, making it possible to run vMix as autonomous service and only use the web interface or in our case external touch panel which sends HTTP requests to vMix web interface

6. when developing API or web interface, make sure commands are discrete - only ON or OFF, for example, audio on to make sure that audio is not turned off when executing the command twice, which would happen when accidentally pressing a button twice

7. add checkbox “self render” or force a certain fps (50i/25p in our case) for the whole vMix profile. when streaming on internet and recording its important to keep video at a fixed bitrate and fps to make sure users will have a good viewing experience and video will be editable. I have had issues with video clips inserted via vMix and suddenly finding out that they have 50fps which doubles the bitrate in FMLE, makes the livestream laggy and video is not editable afterwards

8. add possibility to use two or more vMix instances simultaneously. this is useful for projects when we have one video input and we have to deliver two streams each with a different visualisation (for example, logotype). this however would involve at least three vMix since one would be used for “multiplying” the source video input for using eith other vMix instances


I have also come across some problems, perhaps Martin can help me:

1. sometimes after loosing focus (we use other software simultensoulsy with vMix, for example skype, teamviewer) vMix becomes unresponsive and it takes a couple of minutes to get back to normal. this has been noticed on more than one computer

2. sometimes vMix hangs, but I suspect its because of Hauppauge USB Live device drivers. however, I see this more happening in v3 compared to older versions

3. we use vMix with Vostro 3750 which has two “clever” video adapters - intel HD and nvidia that sor of work in parallel, is there any way to tell vMix to use nvidia only? I suspect we loose some rendering quality due to using the less effective video adapter - intel HD, render times are at 10ms, but we are not entirely happy with motion. on theory can a better video adapter improve video motion? there is quite a difference between vMix MPEG2 recording and recording on camcorders flash drive, I can provide some videos if necessary

4. since introducing “built in audio” feature, when using two or three hauppauges, the audio channels get mixed up - hauppauge1 video uses hauppauge2 audio and so on. before this feature was introduced, everything worked fine when leaving audio drop down blank


Sorry, I really tried to make it as short as possible, looking forward to v4,
Dundurs

This will be fixed in the v4 release.

Another thing that would be nice, I know you updated the settings for the tickers in the last version but its still a bit clumsy to figure out how much time you need to set to display the text you want to run. Would it be possible to make the tickers able to recognize the content and just show everything that is input, perhaps with basic formatting such as a space for each "enter" in the text area or something? Would make it far more usable for quickly popping in some announcements or something and then turning it on and letting it go for a while without having to preview it and try to figure out how long you need to set it to run through everything.

fordry,

In the latest release the ticker will run from left to right in the time set in the text editor.
So the time sets the speed it takes for that text to travel across the screen in full.
How would you suggest this be improved?

Martin

Those are great news! I'm really much looking forward to the next release.

I just want to take the chance and thank you very very much! It's just unbelievable how much you care about user feedback. 3 months ago when I found this great piece of software, I'd never had thought that eventually my humble (and even my not so humble) wishes may be incorporated.

Of course everybody knows, that not all of our proposals can fit into the next release. But I must admit, having the API available already in the next release ... is something I didn't expect to happen.

So thank you very much for all your hard work!!

Some big improvements are being added to the Video Delay feature including:

* Attach video delays directly to cameras.
* New buttons to provide easy access to record and playback speed options.
* Save button with option to quickly save last 10,20,30 or 60 seconds to MPEG-2 (Windows 7 or higher only)

Martin

I can't wait for the next version! Nice work Martin.
