Flicker-free Direct Camera capture

ffmpeg captures the camera itself at an exact frame rate and size and encodes constant-frame-rate H.264 — no browser, no canvas, no frame re-timing in the path.

• Exact-rate AVFoundation / DirectShow capture; devices bound by name, re-resolved before every spawn
• Encoder preview in Direct mode (MJPEG side output of the frames actually encoded)
• Flicker Troubleshooter + Flicker Analyzer: 6 s idet / signalstats capture → fps, jitter, dup/drop, interlace, black frames, mains beat
• OBS detection with a one-click Quit OBS when it holds the device

WebGL FX + AI background removal

Per-layer and per-scene effect stacks in a WebGL2 post pipeline, plus a bundled MediaPipe selfie segmenter that removes your background without a green screen.

• Colour correction, LUT (.cube), vignette, blur, sharpen, pixelate, grain, glitch, B&W, mirror, Ken Burns — keyframable
• AI matte on the GPU with temporal smoothing, erode / expand, threshold and edge softness; performance governor never blocks the frame
• WebGL2 chroma key (similarity, smoothness, spill) for people who do have a green screen
• Transparent / colour / blur / image background replacement

Overlay Builder + blank plate kit

Build overlays on a pixel canvas, or start from the bundled blank-plate kit — 32 PNG plates (lower thirds, alerts, frames, stage panels, ticker) shipped as one-click templates.

• Templates → Blank kit · Overlay plates: each plate becomes a named graphic with default copy and a colour-matched theme
• Stinger graphics: armed until fired, in → hold → out with 12 motion presets; Fire / Toggle / Hold modes
• Lottie animations, alpha video layers, logo bounce / pulse / float, clocks and countdowns
• Curated overlay themes tie palettes, preferred templates and motion together

Motion, generators & camera rig

Keyframes on any layer with eases, loops and motion paths; particle / gradient / plasma / audio generators; digital PTZ with cue lists, presets and auto-frame on the segmenter’s subject.

• Motion Designer scrubs every keyframed layer and bakes keyframes into In / Out presets
• FX stack per layer: blend mode, mask, drop shadow, bypass, presets
• Camera rig recall from a deck key, hotkey or OSC (camera.rig.recall N)
• Particles, LUT import, cue lists and auto-frame are Motion Pro (Pro+)

Virtual camera angles from one camera

Named punch-in angles (Wide / Medium / Close) on a single source with per-angle quality badges, eased live recall and an optional auto-director — multicam without a second camera.

• Two angles on Creator; more angles + auto-director rotation on Pro (camera.angles)
• Scene pinning and camera.angle.recall from deck / hotkey / OSC
• “Expand virtual angles” in the Editor’s multicam turns them into cuttable angles

Scenes, transitions & Preview / Program

Cut, fade, slide, wipe, zoom or stinger (alpha or luma-keyed video) between scenes; T-bar mode makes the big canvas the preview and Take pushes it to program.

• Global hotkeys for Take / Cut, scene 1–8, overlay slots, BRB, mute — they work with another app focused
• Undo / redo for the whole composition (100 steps), never for the stream state
• Live deck with big buttons, each showing its hotkey and live tally

Platform chat on one screen, pinned cards on stream

YouTube Live Chat, Twitch, Facebook Live and the Streamix guest room merged into one list with filters, blocking and moderation; pin any comment as a designed on-screen card.

• 6 card positions, slide / pop / fade, palettes, auto-hide or manual, queue with ◂ ▸
• Pin / unpin from ⌥P / ⌥⇧P, a deck key or the control API
• Bring your own Google / Twitch client id — the app never ships one
• Streamix-chat comments on screen on every plan · platform connections need Creator+

Media playlists, presentation mode & countdowns

Video / audio / image playlists with in-out points and end-of-playlist actions, PDF slides plus a slides remote for Keynote / PowerPoint / Google Slides, and countdowns that switch scene or go live at zero.

• Presentation + PIP template with camera PiP, side-by-side or split
• Countdown to a wall-clock time; Starting-soon template
• Schedule: create and bind YouTube broadcasts, set Twitch title & category, one-click Go Live
• Per-source picture controls: zoom / pan / crop / mirror / flip / rotate + colour, non-destructive

Broadcast Console: outputs, recording, rundown, scopes, health

SRT caller / listener, multistream fan-out (one encode → N destinations), backup ingest with failover, ISO + multitrack recording, wall-clock timecode, markers, rundown with macros, scopes and 1 Hz telemetry.

• Multistream 1 / 2 / 3 / 8 destinations by plan; per-destination encoder ladders on Business
• Recording: ISO per source, multitrack stems, segmented rolls, redundant copy, markers → CSV / EDL / YouTube chapters
• Scopes: waveform, RGB parade, vectorscope, histogram, false colour, legal-range warnings
• Show lock, producer / operator / graphics roles, deferred settings while on air

Live Event window for a second display

Put a large program (and optional preview / multiview) surface on another monitor for stage or confidence viewing — it mirrors the compositor, no second encode.

• Display picker; goes full-screen on the chosen monitor, near-maximized on a single display
• Multiview strip, meters, clock and safe live controls; Esc returns to Live Studio
• Creator: basic · Pro / Business: full

Read the doc: docs/LIVE_EVENT.md

Virtual camera output

Send the program to Zoom / Meet / Teams as a camera. The toggle exists behind the plan gate; the macOS CoreMediaIO camera extension still needs a signed build before it ships.

• Plan: Creator+ (virtualCamera.enabled)
• Requires a Developer-ID-signed system extension — see native/virtualcam/README.md
