mimoLive Features

mimoLive’s powerful graphics engine follows a layer-based concept to compose the final video. There are many types of layers which can be combined in the way you need them. Theses layers are highly customizable, allowing you to easily adapt mimoLive to your needs.

Video Feeds and Graphics as a layered concept

Chroma Key Concept

One of the key benefits of mimoLive’s video feeds and graphics as a layered concept is the flexibility it offers. By separating different elements of the production process into distinct layers, users have greater control over how their final output looks. For example, if a user wants to add a lower third graphic with a specific font and background, they can easily do so by adding a new layer and adjusting the settings. This layered approach also allows for easy repositioning, resizing, and manipulation of elements on the fly, which can be particularly useful in live productions where time is of the essence.

Additionally, mimoLive’s layering system makes it easy to switch between different layouts or scenes, as users can save different layer configurations as layer sets and variants to quickly switch between them with the click of a button.

Overall, the layered concept of mimoLive’s video feeds and graphics provides users with greater control, flexibility, and efficiency in producing high-quality video content.
