vMix 29 is now available for download via the vMix.com download page! Good news for those who purchased vMix after January 2023, as it’s a free update! vMix Max users can also update today for free to get all of the new vMix 29 features. If you like what you see and want to update to vMix 29 from an older version, it’s just $60 USD for an additional 12 months of updates. To get up to date with the new vMix 29 features, here’s a short video from current vMix CEO Martin “Spud” Sinclair.

8 Overlays and 8 Stingers

vMix 29 will now have double the amount of Overlays and Stingers as previous versions! Now you’ll be able to overlay to your heart’s content. With the Overlay support for Mixes in vMix 28, the extra 4 Overlays will give you plenty of options!

There has also been a few interface changes on inputs with some new icons, positions and functions.

Close– To close an input now you just need to click the X in the top right.

Loop– To loop a video click the loop icon.

GO– The GO button replaces Quick Play. By default it functions the same as the Quick Play transition but also adds full shortcut functionality for each GO button on every input!

Open Media Transport

vMix 29 has full support for input and output of Open Media Transport (OMT). OMT is an open-source protocol for high-quality and low latency local network video. For more information head to openmediatransport.org.

Replay Updates

Quad View mode has been added to Replay that allows viewing four separate camera angles on screen at a time in high quality (via Replay MultiView). This provides a simple way to review and compare content on one screen from multiple angles. Adding multiple tags to events is also available in vMix 29, along with dragging and dropping events to list folders.

New Replay performance updates have been added such as-

  • CPU usage for both recording and playback substantially reduced by up to 50%
  • New Configure Storage option allows selecting separate drives for individual camera recordings.

Audio

  • Five new audio bus configurations available: AB, CD, DE, ABCD and DEFG
  • All audio bus options now selectable for MultiCorder in addition to Master

Triggers

New OnCountdownTime and OnCountdownRemaining, allow triggers on Title countdowns.
