vimix 💅 — the manual, but make it a group chat

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for vimix (that's section 1 of the manual, vimix(1), iykyk). Sit down, hydrate, we're doing this. 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

vimix — Video live mixer

vimix [OPTIONS] [FILE]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does vimix actually do? It performs graphical mixing and blending of several movie clips and computer generated graphics, with image processing effects in real-time. Real-time, bestie. The whole thing. 🔥

Its intuitive and hands-on user interface gives direct control on image opacity and shape for producing live graphics during concerts or VJ-ing sessions. Direct control. Hands on the sliders. main character energy at the decks. 👑

The output image is typically projected full-screen on an external monitor or a projector, but can be streamed live (SRT) or recorded. So like — big screen, whole room, or stream it, or record it. Your call. 💖

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -H, --help — Display usage information for vimix and exit. (the "what is this" button, we've all needed it)
  • -V, --version — Output the version number of vimix and exit. (just the digits, then it dips)
  • -F, --fontsizeN — Set interface font size to specified value N. (N is a placeholder, bestie, put an actual number there)
  • -S, --settingssettingsfile.xml — Run using the given settings file. (yes, the option and the filename are smooshed together in the original — no cap, that's just how it's written)
  • -L, --headless — Run without graphical user interface (only if output windows are configured). ⚠️ like, only if your output windows are already set up. No windows, no dice.
  • -C, --clean — Clean the user stored preferences of vimix and exit. (it takes your saved prefs out back. on purpose. it's fine. it's fine. 😭)
  • -T, --test — Perform a minimal rendering test and exit. (vibe check, but for rendering)

🌸 FILE 🌸

Launches vimix and tries to open the provided session file (.mix extension). So if you hand it a .mix file, it's gonna try to open it. Emphasis on try, okay, that's what the page says. 🫶
