Quote from from the user Superlou (Louis):
This tool really lets me focus on the application logic of my video mixing app.Quote from from the user Matthew Clark:
Snowmix is a very useful tool. We use it for live video/audio mixing. It provides all the essential features to switch streams, merge video (picture-in-picture, etc.), add graphics and combine audio streams. It can be controlled remotely, and we've successfully deployed Snowmix on the cloud. The support provided by Peter is also excellent.Quote from from the user Diego Fantoma:
The greatest open source live video project I've ever seen. It works fine, it's very easy to install and to understand, offering a lot of possible scenario of use and - not less important - it takes a very small footprint in terms of resources. The author is very quick and detailed in answering to questions. Great, great, great!Quote from from the user Jordan Johnson:
Fantastic video mixer. Does all I could ever need it to do with less overhead than I could ask for. Configuration is a breeze and the app itself is light and efficient.
