From "About Showmix"[0] page: > What is Snowmix? > Snowmix is a leading Free and Open Source Video Mixer. Snowmix is a very fast and flexible command line tool with a small ressource footprint for dynamically mixing live audio and video feeds. > Snowmix supports overlaying and mixing video, images, texts and graphic elements as well as suporting mixing audio sources. Snowmix offers animation, simple and advanced scripting, clipping and pattern gradient blending. > From version 0.5.0, Snowmix offers in addition to native support for 2D graphics also native support for 3D graphics through OpenGL support. Both off-screen (CPU based) and hardware accelerated (GPU) OpenGL rendering are supported. > What is Snowmix not? > Snowmix is NOT an application, but rather a highly advanced and specialized tool. As it is with many tools, its full potential depends on the abilities, knowledge, skills and talent of the user. > Are you looking for an easy point-and-click solution, Snowmix is not your solution. But in same time there is als9 a note on GUI added: > From version 0.5.1[1,2], a number of GUI tools suitable for using Snowmix in a Live production environment are included. And according "Screenshots"[3] page it seems like Showmix is usable even as 'point-and-click solution'. N.B. Overall, Showmix is probably one of good alternatives to OBS Studio for older PC.[4,5] [0] https://snowmix.sourceforge.io/Intro/about.html https://snowmix.sourceforge.io/Intro/about.html [1] https://snowmix.sourceforge.io/Documentation/releasenotes.html#0.5.1 https://snowmix.sourceforge.io/Documentation/releasenotes.ht...
