+Vimix is an Open Source Tool That Helps With Graphical Mixing and Blending Live
+======
+
+There are several [Linux tools available for digital artists][1]. However, those are mostly for image manipulation or drawing.
+
+So, how can you blend and mix video clips or computer-generated graphics in real-time on Linux?
+
+This is mostly a use-case if you are presenting something live for a VJ session or concerts and conferences.
+
+vimix sounds like a tool that can come in handy for the job.

+
+Of course, [video editors][3] should be preferred if you want to edit a video and apply several post-processing effects.
+
+But, if you want real-time video clip manipulation for a good extent, vimix is a tool that you can try. It is an open-source tool which also happens to be the successor of [GLMixer][4] which is no longer maintained.
+
+Here, I will highlight some of the key features that it offers.
+
+### Features of vimix
+
+![][5]
+
+You get a huge set of abilities with this tool. If you are new to using such a tool, this could prove to be overwhelming.
+
+  * Mixing multiple video clips
+  * Controlling opacity using a simple slider for multiple active clips
+  * Fade videos to apply smooth transition when playing multiple videos as a cross-playlist
+  * Folder-based session
+  * Geometry feature to manipulate/re-size source clips
+  * Incredibly useful layer option to add three or more videos at a time
+  * Apply post-processing effects to computer-generated graphics
+  * Multiple blending modes
+  * Ability to clone sources
+  * Tweak the texture of the sources
+  * Multiple cropping options
+
+
+
+### Install vimix on Linux
+
+It is only available as a snap package right now. So, if you want to install it on any Linux distribution of your choice, download it from the [Snap store][6] or your software center if it has integrated snap enabled.
+
+```
+sudo snap install vimix
+```
+
+You can also refer to our [snap guide][7] if you need help to set it up. If interesting, you can compile it yourself or explore more about it in its [GitHub page][8].

+
+### Closing Thoughts
+
+vimix is a tool that caters the need of specific use-cases. And, that is what it excels at.
+
+It is good to see the availability of such a tool tailored for live video jockeys and other professionals using Linux.
+
+It is worth noting that I’m not an expert to work with this tool, so I just fiddled around with the common operations to control opacity, fade videos, and add effects to the source.
+
+I encourage you to explore more, and please don’t hesitate to let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
