vMix Manuals & User Guides

vMix is an advanced, professional live video production and live streaming software application for Windows. It functions as a comprehensive video mixer and switcher, empowering creators, broadcasters, and businesses to produce high-quality live video content using just a personal computer. With support for a vast array of inputs including cameras, NDI sources, remote Zoom participants, and varied video files, vMix provides incredible flexibility for dynamic live productions.

Recent versions of vMix incorporate rich features such as auto-scaling titles via the GT Title Designer, AV1 and HEVC (H.265) streaming capabilities for superior video quality at lower bandwidths, and robust multi-view controls. Advanced integrations like direct Zoom meeting capture and Telestrator inputs for real-time drawing make vMix an industry standard tool for both simple single-operator streams and complex multi-camera studio environments.

• Can I integrate Zoom meetings directly into vMix?

  Yes, vMix 27 and higher allow you to integrate Zoom meetings directly without needing screen capture or NDI feeds. Simply install the Zoom plugin, add a Zoom input in vMix, and you can host or join meetings and incorporate individual participants into your multi-view sets.

• Does vMix support AV1 and HEVC streaming to YouTube?

  Yes, starting with vMix 27, users can stream using AV1 and HEVC (H.265) via RTMP to YouTube. This requires compatible hardware encoding chips like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4000 series GPUs or Intel Arc GPUs for AV1.

• How do I create auto-scaling titles in vMix?

  Auto-scaling titles are created using the GT Title Designer. Set the text box to configure automatic resizing and bind text blocks to shapes within the 'Bounding' settings to make your graphical titles dynamically adapt to the amount of text entered.
