OBS vs vMix - What streaming software is Best - Killer Feature Comparison

  • This video will provide an OBS vs vMix feature comparison so you can make an intelligent choice on what software is best for your needs. The fundamental difference between the two pieces of software would have to be the origins of the software. vMix was born from a more corporate production environment.
    ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
    WAIT TILL YOU SEE THESE KILLER FREE ANIMATED SUBSCRIBE BUTTONS.
    I spent five long days learning how to make subscribe buttons in Blender.
    The animations are KILLER, and I made 10 of them for you COMMERCIAL FREE.
    Get Them Here ➤ scottfichter.com/free-animate...
    ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
    The software shines when used for sporting events and live corporate interviews. The software is also perfect for creators who want to stream on UA-cam, Facebook, and Twitch. When you look at the interface, it feels like it would fit perfectly into a TV studio in New York City. The software looks and feels like professional production hardware. The interface is cool, but the learning curve needed to understand how it works will be a bit steep at first. Another big difference is that vMix is not free. It'll cost you $60 to get a minimal amount of functionality, and if you want all the bells and whistles, you'll have to pay a whopping $700. One payment feature that Scott thinks is fair is if you purchased the $60 payment tier, and you decided to go with the next level, which is $300, vMix will only charge you $240.
    OBS studio comes from the opposite end of the spectrum. The code is open-source, which means it's maintained by programmers who donate their time to improve the software. OBS Studio has a massive army of programmers, and you'll begin to see this first hand when you realize the pile of plugins, tools, scripts, and themes that are available for the software. Unlike vMix, where all the functionality has been preinstalled. OBS requires that you tinker to get it to do what you want. OBS is like a box of loose wires. You have to research how to connect the wires to achieve your needs, and there's not much OBS can't do.
    At this point, you're probably wondering what program is better. The simple answer is it depends on you.
    Do you have a budget? (vMix)
    Are you a UA-cam streamer (OBS)
    Are comfortable with computers (OBS)
    Do you want it just to work (vMix)
    Do you want an interface that is easier to understand (OBS)
    I think you get the point. You need to determine which program is best for you.

    Really great to see this comparison. You hit some of the basic points I'd be looking for. Thank you.
    I'm not sure I share your thoughts around layers in vMix. Though I would probably still give OBS the win for ease of use, vMix is pretty robust and simple enough once you get used to it. Bounding boxes for resizing are really truly my biggest pain with vMix. It would be great if that was added. You might have missed that the function of rotating the image had a Z with a grey square around it. You can, very unintuitively, click it and it cycles between X,Y,Z and spin the image in multiple directions. You can do some surprisingly cool things with that feature.

    Yeah, I use both obs and vmix and your comparison of the two is spot on. I find somethings are easier and more efficient to do in obs than vmix. However, vmix gives me that professional feeling tool for certain productions. For me it all depends on what I’m trying to accomplish for the show I’m producing and then using the tool that will get the job done with efficiency. Great video!

    Thank you for this, I really do enjoy your videos they are really helpful, but I think there is deliberate bias for OBS here 😀. I use and love both OBS and Vmix and find both softwares necessary depending of what I need at the time. You missed out on the fact the Vmix has excellent built in animated lower thirds, also you can stream to multiple platforms simultaneously.OBS only just started offering this with a plugin for version 26 upgrade. Vmix can integrate and connect with a participants in a live show who is in another country with Vmix call. There are other plus’ for Vmix but I’ll stop there. However, I do use OBS more 😁. Keep up the good work though.

    • @ScottFichter
      @ScottFichter  3 роки тому

      You would be correct about the bias. I must admit that vMix is a POWERHOUSE. The only think that stops me from jumping in 100% is the cost and how the layers work. If they could figure those two things out, I'd be all in.

    • @ScottFichter
      @ScottFichter  3 роки тому +1

      There's a pile of features that I did not cover for both. The call in feature was one I wanted to cover but didn't because the video would be close to 20 minutes long. If the numbers are showing what I think they are showing for this video, there will be more on this topic. MUCH MORE! Thanks for the damn good comment my friend.

    OBS works well with Linux.
    Ubuntu has deb packages and PPAs that work well.
    Centos/RHEL Linux you have to compile. There is a "how-to" on the OBS page on how to install.
    I have noticed that some features ( such as user addible docks for Animated Lower Third don't work under ubuntu ... It works in CentoOS but has some issues.
    There seems to be differences in the code base between Deb linux versions vs what is available for RHEL based distros... ( looks like a git pull from bleeding edge...)
    I did catch the "Slow mo" thing.. It does ( sorta ) have slo-mo if you take the media itself and slow it down in the source.. There maybe a way to create a script that would allow ramping...

    Rather than adding echo to your voice for emphasis, have you considered a bass boost? The echo on its own makes you sound a lot further away, which seems like the opposite of the intended "aural underlining".

    • @ScottFichter
      @ScottFichter  3 роки тому

      You're not the only one who has mentioned using a different effect. Yea I know is sucks. I'll change it up. The echo you hear is a manual echo. I duplicate the audio track and delay one. It's manual. Camtasia sucks in this area in a big way. They offer zero audio effects.

      Le sigh... Here come all of the Tricaster people. For a paid program / hardware (hardware mandatory) you'd think it would have less errors and troubleshooting than a free program. Tricaster is all about selling you a service for the most money possible while tricking you into thinking it's professional.
      The industry is full of gatekeeping though... And it is videos like this that they hate because they don't want people to learn these things. They see it as a threat to their business. It's much worse in lighting production than it is in video production by far no doubt. But it used to be just as bad before people like Scott came along.

Is there a way to do this in OBS without repeating the logo in each scene? Thanks!

You have four overlay buttons on the middle of the screen one two three four in order to turn the previous used overlay input on you push a button that's it. you preset those four for however you want them as far as size and position that's the setting he showed as overlay. in order to get any input to be the current overlay for 1 2 3 or 4, on the bottom of said input it has the same 1 2 3 4 you click it, that's it. All overlays are done in order so one is the first two is over the top of that three is over that and four is your outmost overlay.

      What you are asking about is something known as supersource. It's incredibly confusing because no one actually explains what it is or act like you're an idiot for not knowing.
      OBS relies on a reference system which isn't the best workflow granted but for the people using OBS it's probably the best way of going about things and I understand the decision to do it that way.

    The good old program Camtwist is what I like but it is a little hard on your cpu and is mac only and cannot run well on newer mac os. It still see the Atem Mini though so there are ways to make stuff work. There is no encoder in it so you would need something like the old Flash Media Live Encoder which is a bit old too but still works good on most sites you cast to and defenately if you are recording to disc. You need a capturecard too but you need that with every program that do not use USB. The next best is OBS and it also can see the Atem Mini. What the heck is vmix?
    The combo Atem Mini any model including the old Atem TVS and the today very cheap used capture card Intensity Pro you pretty much get an unlimited setup for audio and a very powerful multicam setup for really cheap.

    Hi Thanks for the video, just want to share some of my experience on both software
    OBS is a great FREE software for a gamer who want to broadcast their games. but if you use OBS on a whole program like awards night and company events. all other video from other SCENE that hasto be played later on the show will buffer terribly. and GREEN SCREEN in OBS is not that good unlike vMix. But again both softwares are great depending on what you need! sorry for the grammar! :)

    The most important thing about OBS over any other paying hardware and software is that OBS gives you up to 24 monitors in one displays. Super powerful if you know to use and you can stream in 8k. Plus the endless things you can do with it. Feel free to get my OBS User Interface. It makes OBS easy to use and better controls of things.

    I feel you have a bias against vMix. Yes OBS has a lot of plugins, but vMix has a lot of stuff already built in. Shouldn't that count for something? You don't have to piece together all kinds of plugins to make stuff work. Also the fact that the win for Instant Replay goes to OBS purely based on money is not consistent with your "Easy wins every single time" statement @ 13:43. That should've been a win for vMix hands down.
    It really comes down to the fact that OBS has a different demographic than vMix. I wouldn't want to go back to OBS in my church for example, because when you want to go a little more professional, vMix is the better option. Of course, this is my opinion after having used both.

    For lack of a better play on words, we are one of your “above average” viewers that does broadcast sporting events 😎 You can indeed set up slow motion instant replay in OBS.
    After the replay buffer is set up to your preferences, each time you save a replay (by clicking the down arrow) it saves that video to your designated file location.
    When we set up our instant replay scene, we add the media source that browses to the file location for that saved video, then all you have to do is drag the scrubber bar that’s designated to the playback speed of that video/media source. Drag it to the left to slow down the playback, or to the right to speed up the playback.
    We are actually still tinkering with a few things to make it work for us, the way we want it to work in regards to a sports broadcast, but for someone who just wants a basic slow motion replay - that’s how it would be done

    Thanks for your channel... I'll admit, I've only used pretty much vanilla obs... It's cool to see the plugins and stuff. It's a bit complicated getting plugins installed and working in obs... But I also understand open source. It's a tool for the people... BY the people. So there are going to be inconsistencies with the tools and workflows.
    It's great, though, that there is such a powerful free tool available.

    Very Biased comparison. When the replay feature was a clear winner, you moved the goal post, and said vmix lost because of cost.... that is not what you were comparing. Then at the end you moved to plugins, which is actually a list of things that OBS can not do. I use both programs and both have their strengths. I noticed you didn't mention the ability to bring in guest, something only vmix can do. Also you did not mention that some OBS plugins cost money. The videos nicely done, but don't pretend to be objective when you are clearly not. Also I would think that tech support is worth something. You can also get a subscription for vmix which is $60 per month that give you all the access to the $1200 version. One place where OBS kicks vmix but is the ease and support of stream deck, vmix does it but not as smoothly.

      @@ScottFichter yes vmix is pricey. In the end it is a way better platform. With OBS you have to Frankenstein things together in order to get guests on. You need to incorporate zoom/skype then, download vb cable to do a mix minus, and hope things run smoothly or it will mess up the scene setup. Vmix call is way easier and you can isolate the guest to make better scenes. The mix minus is build into vmix so no need to use vb cable. Everything flows better. Obs is only decent for gamers and amateurs with basic needs. With vmix you are paying for the set it and forget it functionality that allows you to focus on the show. It’s very easy to learn as well, you just need to take a couple days watching UA-cam tutorials. Plugins in obs are great but you don’t need to have plugins in Vmix to do the same things. You really should take more time to experiment with it before you claim OBS is so much better. I’ve used both and had to leave obs because I kept hitting walls with the functionality.
