Snowmix
The Swiss Army Knife of Open Source Live Video Mixing.
Snowmix is a free and open source command line video mixer for dynamically combining live audio and video feeds. It is designed to run headless and be controlled remotely over a low-bandwidth TCP connection, addressing the need for a lightweight tool that can be built into a custom video mixing application or system rather than used as a point-and-click application.
It supports overlaying and mixing video, images, text and graphic elements in 2D and 3D, along with mixing audio sources. Features include animation, simple and advanced scripting, clipping, pattern gradient blending, and chroma keying from version 0.5.2. OpenGL rendering is available both off-screen (CPU-based) and hardware accelerated (GPU). GUI tools for live production environments are included from version 0.5.1, and GStreamer can be used for input and output.
Snowmix is intended for users building their own video mixer applications who are prepared to read the documentation. It runs on a range of Linux distributions and on macOS/OS X. The software is free and open source, with source code available for download.
