• Feature Replace mode enables you to substitute your background scene with a replacement backdrop or a virtual greenscreen.

Camo now avoids using digital zoom wherever possible, and instead rely on a higher resolution source image from the camera’s sensor, mimicking lossless optical zoom. Smart Zoom can be enabled in Camo Studio’s Preferences dialog, under the General tab.
• Feature Virtual rotation gives you the ability to choose between landscape and portrait video without having to physically rotate your phone. This makes use of the "Smart Zoom" feature to ensure the video is perfectly crisp.

If you run into any problems, please reach out to us at support@reincubate.com. We'd love to help and hear from you.

• Feature We’ve added an Audio Settings section to the left-hand side of Camo Studio. When using Camo Studio’s audio in your video app you can now choose to use audio from any microphone connected to your Mac, not just the audio from your phone. This means you can use Camo Studio to control your microphones and it’s now easier to choose the audio when making a local recording.
• Improvement Previously when making a local recording using a mono microphone there would only be audio in the left channel. You can now use the Advanced tab in Preferences to enable mono audio recording so that audio will be recorded in both channels.

You can create customisable text, shapes, images, and colored overlays from a wealth of templates, or design your own from scratch without needing additional software.

This new compatibility requires functionality we’ve built on top of macOS 12.3. For users on older versions of macOS, the pre-existing integration system remains in place. You can read more about this update on our blog.

Today’s release also contains lots of UI love, fixes, and Swedish words.
