User Reviews

  • Snowmix is an excellent tool for realtime video mixing. We have deployed it on the cloud where we can mix different sources and produce high quality video stream output. Support is excellent as well. Very complete project.
  • I was looking for headless live video switcher and that is exactly what I need. Though I find it not easy to use and some CLI for novice users with basic configuration would greatly help. I managed to run gstreamer itself faster then I could set up snowmix. Even having node-snowmix installed I could not make it stream video online. Good luck and I will dive into it deeper and see where it can get me!
  • This tool really lets me focus on the application logic of my video mixing app.

  • Snowmix is a very useful tool. We use it for live video/audio mixing. It provides all the essential features to switch streams, merge video (picture-in-picture, etc.), add graphics and combine audio streams. It can be controlled remotely, and we've successfully deployed Snowmix on the cloud. The support provided by Peter is also excellent.

  • This is the most amazing open source software for live video mixing I ever seen, I really hope that in the future the configuration will be easier and users will be able to start the software and set it up from a menu. I like the flexibility of commands and scripts but to me is really intimidating at the begining. Keep the good work I expect much from this software! :)
