But I've been using it for 9 months every week now and it is THE MOST buggy piece of software I've ever used. The tech support people are nice, but every week, which is to say every show, I have a problem. I don't think I've ever just turned it on,...

I like vMix because it is very easy to setup various shots by assigning various camera inputs, adding videos, presentation and other graphics. It is an all in one solution for mixing video and streaming.

The software itself can be somewhat clunky to use if you're not proficient in a video mixing software.
