Dear Martin and co,

Vmix v18 is impressive. I have just completed a 4 day production, where my vmix 18.0.0.52 have been running the entire time. It has been controlling a gigantscreen, two additional hdmi output which was distributed via dvb-t to multiple tv's, separate handling of sound via sound channel A and B - and it has been uploading two streams simultaneous. I ended up working with 60 to 70 different inputs. Everything has work without any problems - it has been fantastic.

Two minor things have come up - that I hope you can locate and fix in a coming build.

First - Changing an existing input by using the CHANGE button works fine, but when I started using SHORTCUTS, I discovered that every time I changed an input - my shortcuts input source was changed also. It was necessary for me to verify and adjust all my shortcuts every time I "changed" an existing input. Today after the show I have tried to make a small configuration with 6 input, and I see the same behavior when changing/modifying a input.

Second - After 2 days with without errors, I got the idea to create a input type LIST - added 10 videos - and had it running continuously in a small overlay in one of my hdmi output (information's screen). It looked perfectly - and the sponsors got extra attention this way. After running 6-12 hour, I started to receive "Memory Low" error from Windows stating that I should close down the vMix application. I tried this once - and got the error again the day after! The last day I decided to remove the LIST input again, and after this I did not get the error any more.

It seems that there might be an issue - either a memory leak - or the way the entries in the LIST input is handled that claims memory from the OS.

I hope that you can locate the minor error too.

Other than these two relative small issues - I just have to say that I am a fan! It is the best software ever, and there seems to be endless many ways to be creative with vMix on the table :-)


Best regards

Martin,

I did it in the following order

1. Start vMix - no presets loaded
2. Create 6 inputs with different content
3. Set input 1 as my main out
4. Creates a shortcut that will turn input 2 on and off as an overlay
5. Edit input 4 - click the CHANGE buttom and select a different type of input. Fx. from a video to an image
6. Select EDIT SHORTCUTS, and notice that "input 2" now has change to a different input
7. My shortcut key is now turning a different input on as overlay....

I hope that you can recreate this - if not i can make a short video for you!

Regarding my second topic - all videos was mp4 files.
