Controls for a photo-based camera
- Photo input
- Choose images from Photos or Files, or drop several into Materials. Select a thumbnail to change the camera image.
- Framing
- Zoom from 25% to 500%, rotate by degrees, pan and mirror. Use Fill or Fit to place the photo in a 16:9 frame.
- Color and lighting
- Adjust exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth and shadows. Add soft fill light with control over direction, intensity and coverage.
- Camera output
- A camera extension supplies 1280 × 720 video at 30 fps. Set a camera name and select it in compatible meeting or streaming apps.
- Two kinds of metadata
- Material EXIF belongs to the source photo copy. Camera output metadata describes generated frames. Supporting clients can read it; other apps may remove it when saving or re-encoding.
Keep the controls nearby
The floating window stays above other apps, so you can adjust the image without repeatedly returning to Studio.
- Main and floating controls share the same image settings.
- Switch tools to frame, adjust color or change fill light.
- Start and stop camera output directly from the controls.
