Brand New UI
ManyCam 8 has a completely new UI aimed to improve usability and your live video production. It comes with a dark mode and light mode, with more themes coming soon!
Global Layers
On ManyCam 8, layers can now be global and visible across all your scenes, making it easier than ever to use and organize your video presets.
Customizable Titles
Titles are the new lower thirds! With the Titles feature, you can choose between many styles and animations. Each one can be customized and saved as your own.
My first impression is pretty positive. I struggled a bit where to find menus etc but that is expected with a new UI. The main thing I see missing that I see many have requested is MIDI shortcuts. You might be able to go to Bome Software and get their MIDI SDK (BMIDI) to enable MIDI support on ManyCam.
In the meantime, I have to used much more expensive software like vMix to get MIDI shortcut support.
It does seem like the new version of software puts less of a load on my 8 year old PC. Maybe I can start using it now with ManyCam instead of my newer PC. Right now I use the newer PC for streaming and the older one for most of my base (less demanding) applications.
In settings, one may toggle on the Dark Mode or off for the Light Mode user interface. (During testing, in Light Mode some Menu bar icons were hidden.)
The Audio sources clearly shows your volume with a color bar.
New, Titles, formerly call Lower Thirds, is now preset specific with the option to fade away after several seconds. Also, the Titles are sizable.
You can add multiple Text boxes and enable scrolling of the text.
The Effects and your ability to drag and drop animate Gifs onto your live view or edited preset has not changed.
The Draw option in the main menu no longer has the highlights option, however it is available in Overlay Mode.
In the Draw option, the Blur effect seems buggy.
Missing from ManyCam Beta 7.10 is the Guest Feature.
sadly enough I can not extract a solution out of this, instead I have a question: could it be that many cam should use a different technology to get this working? (does it use Core Media I/O?)
For all of us who have supported this company with a Premium Lifetime Subscription, of which I had purchased two, I feel very let down that my subscription of a ‘Premium Lifetime’ does not apply to version 8? Yet, for all the other versions up until v7 and its updates it applied. I cant work this one out. How can they charge for a Lifetime Subscription, which at the time included ALL FUTURE UPDATES, now not count with version 8.
Am I the only one who has fallen fowl of this Company? It seems they are Judge, Jury and Executioner when it comes to changing their policies, forgetting their loyal customers who paid good money for them to exist. If this is how they treat their loyal customers, just think what they must be like to work for! I pity their employees. If nothing else, ManyCam has FAILED to honour all customers who purchased a Premium Lifetime Subscription! Shame on you!!!
