Your Mac is now a broadcast studio

VisionMixer is a native macOS live video mixer — scenes, a show deck, animated transitions, real audio mixing, and a virtual camera your calls and streams see. All of it on Apple silicon, none of it in the cloud.

Scenes & switching

Cut like a control room

Compose scenes from cameras, screens, capture cards, clips, browsers and overlays. Preview what's next, then take it to air — with studio mode for two-monitor discipline or direct editing when you're moving fast.

  • Program / preview switching with TAKE, CUT and auto-transitions
  • Layer editor with crop, corner-pin, chroma key and person segmentation
  • Saved scenes with live thumbnails, synced across canvases

Show Deck

Every button of your show, one surface

Build a deck of tiles that run your show: fire scenes with their own transitions, trigger graphics, play sound effects, start recordings, ride faders. Then take it anywhere — a floating mini panel, global hotkeys, or any phone on your network as a web remote.

  • Scene tiles with per-tile transition overrides
  • Channel strips, master faders and sound pads on the grid
  • Web remote over Wi-Fi — the deck in your pocket

Media Studio

The prep room for everything on air

One window to browse, build and rehearse: your whole library organized by type, a full canvas editor, AI-generated overlays and sound, and a stage to try it all before the audience sees it.

  • Library of cameras, clips, overlays, 3D text and sound — one add surface
  • Full layer inspector: filters, keying, corners, borders, effects
  • Generate overlays, stills and sound effects with AI, in place

Motion graphics

Transitions with real choreography

A keyframe animation engine lives inside the mixer. Animate any stack of layers — extruded 3D text included — through smooth spline paths, park a lower third on screen with a hold, and fire the whole thing from a deck button with its own sound.

  • Multi-layer keyframe timelines with monotone-spline easing
  • Holds for lower thirds — fire on, park, release off
  • Per-transition sound effects with fades and offsets

Audio

A real mixer, not a volume slider

Every source is a channel with AIR, CUE and MON routing — what the stream hears, what your headphones hear, and what the room hears are three different mixes. Jitter-buffered engines keep it crackle-free for hours.

  • Per-channel EQ, dynamics and noise reduction inserts
  • Virtual mic & speaker devices: clean mix-minus call audio in Teams or Zoom
  • Route the Mac's own audio into a fader instead of over your show

Outputs

One show, everywhere at once

The mix goes wherever you need it: a virtual camera that Teams, Zoom and Meet treat as hardware, multi-destination RTMP streaming, NDI to other machines, crash-safe recordings with a rolling replay buffer — and a second 9:16 canvas so vertical gets a real edit, not a crop.

  • Virtual camera + mic: your produced show inside any meeting
  • Stream to Twitch, YouTube, Kick and custom RTMP together
  • Independent vertical canvas with its own scenes and outputs

Questions, answered

How does the free trial work?

Download and run — no account, no card. For 14 days you get the complete product. Afterwards the app stays fully usable and your scenes stay yours; the video output simply carries a watermark until a license is entered.

Is this a subscription?

No. $99 buys VisionMixer outright, with 12 months of updates included. After that, renewing updates for $49/year is an optional, manual purchase — we never store your card and never auto-charge.

What do I need to run it?

A Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or newer) on macOS 14 Sonoma or later. VisionMixer is native Swift and Metal — no Electron, no cloud rendering.

Does it work with Teams, Zoom and Meet?

Yes — that's a headline feature. VisionMixer installs a virtual camera plus virtual mic and speaker devices, so your produced show becomes the camera in any meeting, with clean mix-minus call audio (no echo).

How many Macs can I use?

One license activates on 2 Macs. You can deactivate a Mac yourself at any time from Settings to free the seat for another machine.

What about refunds?

Try the full product free for 14 days first — that's what the trial is for. Something wrong after buying? Email us within 14 days of purchase and we'll make it right.
