Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • There is nothing good about this software. It is not user-friendly, has terrible connectivity, there were always issues with sound every time I used it, and their customer service is completely unhelpful.
  • Once you get used to some basic concepts, it's very easy to set up multiple "camera angles" and channels of video content, including Picture in Picture, and perhaps most usefully, overlaying two video streams with the front one with a transparent background. For example, to put you the presenter in front of your powerpoint slides so you can point at things, and still advance the slides. Switching between channels is straightforward, either a fade or a cut, and you can edit a channel whilst broadcasting on another, which is great for adjusting the green screen when the light has changed, and to place your three PIP participants for the next round of an awards ceremony. The resultant broadcast can go anywhere you want it to - I've used it with Zoom, GoToWebinar, Teams, and Hopin Has useful features like bottom third (your name and title) and clocks.

Cons

  • Difficult user interface, connectivity issues, problems with sound echoing or no sound. Terrible customer service. Exchanged multiple emails with them and they were unhelpful. I tried calling the corporate number and left many messages and no one ever responded.‘s It seems like they don’t care about keeping their customers happy.
  • Since it's on your computer, all the streams have to come to your computer before they can be combined and broadcast out, which could create problems with bandwidth if you have a lot of external feeds. It took me a while to get used to setting up multi-layer (Picture in Picture) channels, and I only found out you could edit one channel whilst broadcasting another in the last couple of weeks.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • First off, there is an Error in this comparison description. vMix is not made or affiliated in any way with NewTek. That being said vMix is the premiere new kid on the block that have raised the bar significantly for everyone else, including NewTek. (although NewTek is mainly a hardware solution with software) vMix has excelled in newer, popular features and seems to be coming out with more features every six months or so. I see how all the "Old-School" companies are bad-mouthing vMix as being "just a toy" because they are genuinely scared of losing their clientele to vMix... as they should be. vMix has boldly added just about everything, but the kitchen sink, and they don't apologize for it. Everything it does, it does well, or at least pretty darned well. Their integration of dedicated Call-In features along with NDI & SRT support is notably featured and it all comes at an affordable price.

Cons

  • It's hard to post cons as I really really had to think hard to come up with a couple aspects that I honestly think they might be taken as trite points. vMix's User Interface feels a little clunky making the learning curve just a bit harder than it has to be. The program writers who designed this platform are obviously not seasoned Professional Content Producers (as seen in their own sales and weekly promotional pieces). This leaves us with a kind of "Computer-Geeky made" software that does not always fit in the "traditional" production environment that we're comfortably used to. That's not to say that there aren't work-a-rounds and/or newer ways to skin a cat. Also, there are a few features that any professional would think should have been obvious and included, that for the life of me, I can't understand that after many many feature requests, the nice fella's down under just don't seem to implement or even entertain the thought of adding certain features. One, for example would be some sort of a waiting "Green" room for the Call-In folks. Whoever comes up with this protocol first IMHO is going to instantly garner the whole market... like overnight.
