Then open up the the Stream Deck Application. Once opened click the Stream Deck Store button (looks like a little coloured keyboard icon) at the top right. (In previous versions this was the More Actions button in the bottom right corner). Step 2Click Plugins in the left sidebar. Then select the Video category and scroll down to vMix. Alternatively, use the search field in the top right corner to filter the vMix plugin. Once located click the Install button. Step 3After you have added the vMix app, just select the vMix shortcut button and drag it to all of the buttons you want to assign a vMix shortcut to. Like so... Step 4Ok, so let's head to vMix! You'll need to go to Settings -> Shortcuts and then add a shortcut. Step 5Then click Find to select the button that you have chosen in the Stream Deck Application. Step 6Press the button on the Stream Deck and choose whether you want the shortcut to work on button press or on release...then click OK. Step 7Then set up your shortcut. You can also choose what displays on the button. If you'd like a preview of the vMix input that the shortcut is linked to then select Thumbnail. Step 8Then you're good to go and you can start using the Stream Deck to control your production.

The ability to use third-party audio plug-ins give vMix users access to a massive collection of tools to help create professional-quality audio for their live productions. VST (Virtual Studio Technology) uses digital signal processing to recreate traditional audio hardware often found in professional audio studios. Now with vMix and VST, producers have access to the sound of high-end compressors, expanders, reverb units, delays, equalizers, effects, and more.

Before you dive into audio plug-ins, there are a few things to double-check. First, be sure that you have vMix version 20.0.0.41 or higher. Also, keep in mind that vMix supports VST 3 64-bit plug-ins. You will find many VST and VST 2.0 plug-ins on the market, but for stability and reliability, look for VST 3 64-bit. They are available from many vendors, including waves.com. One of the most important things to remember is to carefully test these plug-ins before you go live with them.

If you are looking for high quality and affordable VST 3 plugins, I highly suggest Waves.com. Two audio plugins I consider must haves are NS1 (for noise suppression) and Renaissance Axx (A plugin to make voices sound more robust). Once you find a plug-in that you are ready to test out, go ahead and download it. Most downloads will come with an installer that will automatically place the files where they belong, usually: program files/common files/VST 3.

Now that the plug-in is installed, open up vMix, and you can see how to add it. You can add plug-ins to both individual inputs and to your master audio. There may be instances where you want to apply specific vocal effects to a microphone input such as reverb and a general effect to the master, such as a compressor.

Different types of plugins have different interfaces. Some show a graphical interpretation of the physical version of the hardware, and others have simpler interfaces. Usually, once you add the plug-in, if that input has active audio, you should be able to hear it and adjust in real-time in the editor. Once you have it set up the way you want it, you can save a preset within the plug-in to quickly load it later.

Pro Tip: Many plugins come with presets you can use for various effect settings. For example, for voices there may be a male and female preset. This is often a great place to start your project.

Audio Plug-ins are a great way to improve the sound of your live production. However, if you are new to them, they can be a bit overwhelming. If you want some guidance about what plug-ins work best with vMix, check out some of the online forums on vMix.com.

vMix supports adding a variety of stream formats as inputs through the use of the free VLC media player software.A special version of this software that works with vMix can be downloaded and installed below: Latest Version 3.0.8 (recommended) Previous Version 2.2.5.1 Note: This will not change or otherwise alter any existing installations of VLC you may have on your computer and is for use with vMix only. This software is licensed under GPL v2 and LGPL v2 with the source code available for download below: ://cdn.vmix.com/download/vlcforvmix.tar.xz

Welcome to the world of vMix! vMix is a professional broadcasting software that can be used for streaming live events such as gaming or newscasting. The main vMix software is limited to Windows os use for the time being.

This manual for the Loupedeck vMix plugin is separated into smaller articles and will go through all the vMix functions that Loupedeck provides for your Live and CT devices. These articles are designed to help you understand the possibilities that the vMix plugin integration provides and will guide you to set up your own specific workflow to tailor your own individual needs. Sure, you can also use and/or modify the default vMix-profile as you wish!

You should be able to start using your device without any further adjustments. In case you have also assigned or want to use MIDI commands to control the vMix shortcuts, remember to list the MIDI commands and add your Loupedeck device as a MIDI Controller in the vMix Shortcut Settings.

We don't really have a ready-made solution or compound for this, but you could probably put together a system that works for you with some limitations. If you can elaborate more on what you want to achieve exactly, I am sure we can help.

There are some compounds that do a little bit similar things

[Common_Studio]:Compounds\Overlays\Overlays_2-Scr_Vid_Ins_Logo_Crawl_Green.xcomp

[Common_Studio]:Compounds\Tools\Video_Menu.xcomp

These are using Video/Image control board panels: -production-workflow/preparation-of-the-production-environment-phase-i/scripting-in-aximmetry/flow-editor/special-compound-pin-collector/#add-a-video-image-switch-to-the-control-board

There is also a playlist module: -production-workflow/preparation-of-the-production-environment-phase-i/scripting-in-aximmetry/automation/playlists/

But you might actually want to do a more complex system where you actually use a preview window or a monitor to control and show videos.

You would probably want to control both of them from Companion. With Aximmetry you could even get return data via OSC to trigger actions in vMix via Companion and build complex macros quite easily. Once you learn the basics it becomes a very powerful tool.

Sorry for late reply. Can you point me to some example on what Companion does? In my understanding I'll be able to make action in Aximmetry and via OSC trigger another machine with vMix (for example) using Companion. Am I get this right?

I don't think you can set up Companion in a way that would help you trigger things from Aximmetry in vMix on another machine. What is being suggested here that control both Aximmetry and vMix from one external device or Companion + external device.

Note, that both vMix and Aximmetry support MIDI, so you might be able to trigger vMix from Aximmetry using that. Or by using an OSC plugin for vMix.

With this plugin you will be able to sync your WordPress posts with vMix. This plugin will help you create an RSS feed especially for vMix, you can add it via vmix data feed to implement it in your custom titles.

Very uncommon, as Pearl is a standalone hardware encoder it is typically used in place of a computer with software.

The exception being to maybe bring a visual element into the Pearl from software over an HDMI input. For example vmix has some social plugins for titles, or using New Blue Titler.

But from a mix, switching, streaming and recording point of view, Pearl takes over completely.

They could have been using a chat plugin for OBS.

On Pearl you could take a feed from a computer that is showing the chat, crop it down to size and even chroma key it if the background was solid. Then have it as a overlay in the Pearl layouts.
