Vimix is an Open Source Tool That Helps With Graphical Mixing and Blending Live
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
There are several [Linux tools available for digital artists][1]. However, those are mostly for image manipulation or drawing.
|
||
|
||
So, how can you blend and mix video clips or computer-generated graphics in real-time on Linux?
|
||
|
||
This is mostly a use-case if you are presenting something live for a VJ session or concerts and conferences.
|
||
|
||
vimix sounds like a tool that can come in handy for the job.

|

|
||
Of course, [video editors][3] should be preferred if you want to edit a video and apply several post-processing effects.
|
||
|
||
But, if you want real-time video clip manipulation for a good extent, vimix is a tool that you can try. It is an open-source tool which also happens to be the successor of [GLMixer][4] which is no longer maintained.
|
||
|
||
Here, I will highlight some of the key features that it offers.
|
||
|
||
### Features of vimix
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
You get a huge set of abilities with this tool. If you are new to using such a tool, this could prove to be overwhelming.
|
||
|
||
* Mixing multiple video clips
|
||
* Controlling opacity using a simple slider for multiple active clips
|
||
* Fade videos to apply smooth transition when playing multiple videos as a cross-playlist
|
||
* Folder-based session
|
||
* Geometry feature to manipulate/re-size source clips
|
||
* Incredibly useful layer option to add three or more videos at a time
|
||
* Apply post-processing effects to computer-generated graphics
|
||
* Multiple blending modes
|
||
* Ability to clone sources
|
||
* Tweak the texture of the sources
|
||
* Multiple cropping options
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Install vimix on Linux
|
||
|
||
It is only available as a snap package right now. So, if you want to install it on any Linux distribution of your choice, download it from the [Snap store][6] or your software center if it has integrated snap enabled.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
sudo snap install vimix
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can also refer to our [snap guide][7] if you need help to set it up. If interesting, you can compile it yourself or explore more about it in its [GitHub page][8].

|
||
### Closing Thoughts
|
||
|
||
vimix is a tool that caters the need of specific use-cases. And, that is what it excels at.
|
||
|
||
It is good to see the availability of such a tool tailored for live video jockeys and other professionals using Linux.
|
||
|
||
It is worth noting that I’m not an expert to work with this tool, so I just fiddled around with the common operations to control opacity, fade videos, and add effects to the source.
|
||
|
||
I encourage you to explore more, and please don’t hesitate to let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
