MEETINGS
Velocity5.0

Live video production and streaming software for broadcasters and event producers.

vMix's blog has gone a year without a new version, filling the gap with laptops and trade shows.

◆Current state
vMix's last product release in the feed is vMix 29 in October 2025, following vMix 28 that January. Since then the blog has carried an NVIDIA driver note raising NVENC encode limits to 12, the annual laptop guide and a NAB New York attendance post. None of the recent entries changes the software.
◆Where it's heading
The 2025 pace of two major versions has not repeated in 2026 so far. The release posts never list features, so the feed signals timing and licence eligibility (free for buyers since January 2023, included in vMix Max) rather than capability.
◆Prediction
A vMix 30 announcement is the next meaningful entry, but the feed gives no date for it.

    NVIDIA GeForce GPUs now support up to 12 NVENC hardware encodes

    Note that NVIDIA's December 2025 driver lifts NVENC encoder count to 12. Not a vMix change, but materially affects how many simultaneous outputs a vMix user can drive on a single GPU.

    vMix 29 is available now!

    vMix 29 ships, free for buyers since January 2023 and included for vMix Max. The release-post itself doesn't enumerate features, but the cadence (28 in January, 29 in October) is the load-bearing signal for the perpetual-license renewal model.
