What VisionMixer is
VisionMixer is a macOS production app that combines cameras, screens, clips, and overlays into a produced show usable as a camera in meeting and streaming services. Scenes can include preview switching, cuts, animated transitions, and background removal. The Show Deck triggers scenes, graphics, sound effects, and recordings, while a phone can act as a Wi‑Fi web remote. Presenter tools provide screen zoom and live annotations saved as a separate recordable layer. Audio controls include per-source faders, audience, headphone, and room mixes, noise reduction, and virtual microphone and speaker devices. Media Studio generates overlays, images, and sound effects with AI in the app. VisionMixer lists Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Twitch, YouTube Live, Kick, OBS, and NDI compatibility. It can stream to Twitch, YouTube, and Kick simultaneously and create a vertical 9:16 output. The app requires an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. A 14-day full-featured trial needs no account or card; afterward, output is watermarked until licensed.
