mimoLive 5.3: Updates to Facebook, NDI, Remote Control, Xkeys and support for macOS Catalina

mimoLive 5.3 is now available and is jam packed with cool new features:

Facebook

  • Streaming to groups is now available again. Just make sure that mimoLive is added to the list of apps with access to your group and you'll be able to stream to it by simply choosing it from the list of streaming destinations.
  • Support for 1080p in Facebook has now been enabled.
  • Facebook removed the restrictions on using the API for multicasting (streaming to multiple services). Subsequently, you can now use mimoLive to stream to Facebook and YouTube (or other services) at the same time without restriction.

NDI 4

  • mimoLive now includes NDI 4. The new version improves performance and handling of multiple network connections. It also removes the need for a separate "driver" for NDI|HX cameras.

Remote Control Surfaces

  • You can now edit the text for lower thirds and other layers directly on a Remote Control Surface.

Xkeys Hardware Support

  • The Xkeys models XK-4, XK-8 and XK-16 by P.I. Engineering are now supported as tactile inputs for controlling mimoLive.

macOS Catalina

  • mimoLive 5.3 is fully supported for macOS Catalina, including notarization by Apple to ensure that it can't be used to infiltrate your computer with malware.

Producing Audio Podcasts with mimoLive

mimoLive has a great feature for audio podcasters to record shows with your friends all over the world:

mimoCall.

It's like Skype, but with much less friction.

Just send your podcast guests a URL which they can open in their browser and they are connected immediately to your recording studio.

mimoLive records you and each of your guests separately, so you can edit in Garageband, Logic, Audacity or whatever other multitrack editing software to your heart's content.

Or, if speed of production is more important to you than a perfect edit, mimoLive also records the live down mix and you can add intro, outro and other audio to round out the production in real time.


"This is so slick. I've been waiting for 15 years for a tool like this."

- Derrick Story, The Digital Story & The Nimble Photographer podcasts

mimoLive 5.1 records audio, video tracks separately

With mimoLive 5.1, users can now record any video or audio source separately in addition to the program output. Referred to in broadcasting as "Isolated Recording" or ISO recording, allows you to record clean feeds of your video or audio sources for later editing.

MacVoices from NAB, Las Vegas

When Oliver goes to NAB in Las Vegas, one of his favorite things is to meet with golf pro Chuck Joiner for an interview for MacVoices. This time, Chuck and Oliver were talking about how schools are using iStopMotion, how mimoLive is addressing the changing needs of video production at all levels, from live streaming to mobile, to the studio, and how changing customer expectations are driving those changes.
