Pros from Real Users Pros Ease of use. I can now use other cameras and other switcher devices for even more seamless live streaming and taping of our church services Mobile, Easy to learn, Full of with the must features that a livestream requires, Touch Screen Interface Sleek, dynamic app design; reliable, stable UI; LOTS of dynamic, sophisticated ways to polish the little details. Support team is exceptionally communicative and leadership listens carefully to user feedback. Very easy to connect remote cameras. Multistreaming, horizontal/vertical video options and enhanced video call-in experiences have made a great product even greater. I really like the ability to have multiple cameras to choose from without having to have multiple camera operators - the DJI integration makes it even better. I also like the WIFI connectivity, allowing me to place my cameras in the best position without having to worry about getting wires to them or wires being in walkways or aesthetically intrusive. I really enjoyed the like for like familiarity. Having a powerful processor helped to have a much slicker environment to interact with, which meant importing assets, adding sources and more felt much faster than the iPad Pro counterpart. Recording video and live-streaming felt just as natural and familiar as I was used to having on iOS. There’s also scope for much more connectivity on Mac OS and I look forward to seeing how the app grows in the Apple ecosystem. When Covid started, I wasn’t able to have people come to my podcast studio and faced an immense challenge. I needed to become mobile. I looked far and wide for alternatives and I was not satisfied with some of my options. I found switcher studio and it completely changed my business. I’m able to produce extremely high quality production, fast, efficiently and convenient for my clients. I could show up to them, set up and give him a full broadcast that would have taken several hours and thousands of dollars. I use switcher studio in every production i do and it has completely changed my quality of life and the life of my family and business. Thank you!		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.
