vMix major limitation is the fact that although you can create inputs with layers 1-10, you afterwards can now "flatten" it again. This is ultra nasty because most vMix effects like Positioning, Chroma-Keying, etc. are applied just to the main content (layer 0) and never to the layers. This means you for instance cannot create a complex scene out of layers and then place this scene as a picture-in-picture (PiP) onto another scene.
Workaround: (1) you can use the vMix-VirtualSet-Flatten from my vmix-assets to somewhat flatten the layers and being able to apply a new position, and (2) you can use the rare and heavy-weight Mix 1-3 inputs to really "flatten" the content.
Recommendation: add an input type like the OBS Studio "Source Mirror" which mirrors and flattens an arbitrary source input into just the main layer (0). As vMix already supports the Mix inputs, the functionality is already there. One alternative would be to just allow arbitrary number of Mix inputs.
Vendor Response: "This is by design and is for performance reasons"
