I loved using VMix. I really wish they allowed you to pop out your audio and video sources. Especially when all the outputs aren't using the native video outputs (i.e. NDI and/or streaming). WIth multiple monitors, it would be nice to have the audio inputs on one monitor, video on another, and the switching in/out on a third.
A well presented and informative piece - many thanks
Wow! Thanks for the kind words! It's really appreciated.
I've been a professional user of vMix Pro 4K for the past 5 years, so completely sold on it. I haven't and wouldn't use OBS in place of vMix, but vMix does currently lack one significant comparative feature and that is the ability to stream to RUclips using HLS. HLS offers a much cleaner image, with better sports motion, over that offered by RTMP. It's a big omission from vMix 27, considering RUclips HLS ingest has been around for quite some time now. Our current solution has been to run OBS and vMix on the same hi-spec tower PC and use NDI to output vMix to OBS, with OBS purely acting as the stream-out to RUclips. It works prefectly, but vMix should not require this processor-hungry workaround.
I've been producing with OBS for 4 years. Coming to vmix this year, its much better but I think usability and fast setup is for sure easier with OBS, Vmix does have a lot of lacking program shortcuts and fast setup processes. Aside from that, perfect
The price of vMix doesn't by any means separate it from being Premium Broadcast vs a Tricaster solution. Nice comparison between the '3'... I will happily debate vMix + Workstation = Premium. This combination provides flexibility like no other and can do practically anything.
Correct. I would argue that vMix is in the lead of the software switching category (but is dependent on the computer you are using, like my crappy NUC machine), but the TriCaster (in the NDI world) is the leader in hardware, although very expensive.
VMix from LiveStream Studio 5 years ago.
Because it is better. End of discussion.
Haha! In many ways, yes.
