How to use vMix Shortcuts
vMix Shortcuts allow you to press a button on a device to perform a function in vMix. That means you can build you very own custom controller to do whatever you like!
vMix Shortcuts work with all kinds of devices such as keyboard/mouse, Stream Deck, MIDI controllers, X-keys, joysticks and Xbox controllers. We have a video here that goes into depth about how to set them up.
Firstly you’ll need to go to the Settings>Shortcuts section of vMix.

vMix 24 is finally here!
Do you remember 2020? Yeah neither do we! We’re excited to finally release vMix 24 and give you something new to play with. Better yet, if you’ve purchase vMix since January 1 2018 it’s a free update! What are some of the new features….
Instant Replay
vMix has always pushed the boundaries for what is possible in Instant Replay in a software switcher. In vMix 24 we’ve decided to take things up a notch or two! With vMix Pro you’ll now be able to use 8 channels of Instant Replay utilising the vMix AVI codec for high quality recordings. That doubles your capabilities! In addition to this, vMix Replay will also support 4K and high frame rates, but keep in mind that these will take sufficient computing power to use! There have also been some productivity enhancements including-
- Two output playback channels that can be controlled independently or in sync and have any camera angle assigned to each.
- Twenty (20) Events lists are available that can each include an unlimited number of Mark In and Mark Out points that can be added on the fly and changed at any time.
- Dedicated Replay MultiView output with two playback channels alongside eight live camera previews which can be optionally enabled.
New Marshall cameras added to vMix supported hardware page.
We have added a couple of Marshall cameras to the vMix Supported Hardware page for PTZ cameras.
The Marshall CV630 is a 30x PTZ camera that supports up to 3840×2160 29.97! Fully supported through the PTZ input menu in vMix, you can control and create presets directly through the vMix interface. Supports SDI, HDMI, NDI|HX and also has POE connectivity. As you can see in the picture below it has a prominent tally light, which is great for on camera talent. Just connect up the camera to the network and you’ll be able to control it in vMix 4K and PRO.

The other Marshall camera supported in vMix is the CV420, which is a UHD Box Cam. It offers a 30x zoom and a crazy 3840×2160 60p output! Although it doesn’t have Pan and Tilt capabilities, you can still use the zoom functionality in vMix. With it’s UHD output, it makes it a good option for a single cam region-of-interest HD production.
Using the Everet EVP220N PTZ camera with vMix PTZ controls!
The Everet EVP220N PTZ camera has been added to the list of Supported PTZ Cameras for vMix. It’s a 20x PTZ camera that supports SDI, HDMI and NDI|HX connections to your live video productions. It also supports power over Ethernet, meaning that you could easily power and output the camera feed via NDI|HX, using a single cable!
