Your whole show on one canvas.
- Multiview is now an infinite canvas. Every scene you show is a live frame you can arrange, edit off-air, and put on air in one click.
- NewInfinite Canvas - Unlock the preview with ⇧⌘L and it becomes a canvas you can pinch, zoom, and pan. Layers outside the frame stay visible and live, so you can park them off to the side and drag them in when you need them.
- NewEvery Scene, Live - Turn on Multiview with ⇧⌘M and every scene you show becomes a live frame on the canvas. Click any frame to edit it without touching what's on air. Put it on air with the Go Live chip on its label, a right-click, or ⌘↩.
- NewMove Live Sources Between Scenes - Drag a camera, screen share, or video onto another scene. It keeps running and its audio track goes with it. Hold ⌥ to copy it instead.
- NewArrange Your Show - Drag frames by their labels, ⇧-drag to select several, lock the ones you want pinned, and Tidy Up the rest with ⇧⌥⌘T. Hide several scenes at once from the scene menu.
- NewName Your Camera - Choose the name Camera Graph shows up as in Zoom, FaceTime, and other apps, in Settings › Extension. A new name takes effect after you restart your Mac.
- NewGuides - Grid lines, center lines, rule of thirds, safe areas, and a dot grid, each with its own color. Pick a canvas color in Settings › Graph.
- ImprovedAudio Follows What's Live - You only hear the scene that's on air. Videos and web pages in your other scenes keep playing silently until you put them on air.
- ImprovedDragging layers is smoother, and scenes with shapes and text take far less work to render.
- ImprovedFit Frame is now ⌘0, and Toggle Element moved to ⇧⌘H.
- FixThe virtual camera works again on macOS 15. When you update Camera Graph, its camera extension now updates too.
Big projects, light load.
- ImprovedOnly Live Scenes Run - Scenes you aren't showing no longer keep their cameras, videos, screen shares, and browser sources running.
- ImprovedOne Camera, One Feed - A camera you use in several scenes now opens once and shares a single feed. Background removal runs once per camera, not once per layer.
- ImprovedLess CPU at idle and with the audio mixer open.
The biggest Camera Graph ever.
- 80 new effects, a real audio mixer, Instant Replay, and a render pipeline rebuilt from the ground up. Your camera has never looked this good.
- New80 New Effects - 230+ in all. Make it rain money. Freeze time. Turn your room into a tiny planet, a disco, or a Warhol grid. Plus Confetti, Fireworks, Super 8, Teleport, and Rain on Glass.
- NewInstant Replay - Something great just happened and you weren't recording? Press ⌥⌘R. The last 30 seconds of your scene, audio included, lands in your recordings folder. It even works while you're in another app. Turn it on in Settings › Video.
- NewAudio Mixer - Every source gets its own track: mic, camera, screen share, browser, video files, and system audio. Faders, mute, solo, and live stereo meters in a DAW-style drawer. Your mix saves with the scene.
- NewPresenting Mode - Pin your preview above your call so you can see exactly what they see. It's hidden from screen capture, so it never shows up on the other side.
- NewHEVC Recording - Full 4K60 in files about 37% smaller. Pick it in Settings › Video.
- NewMulti-Select - ⌘-click several layers or scenes, then move, lock, or delete them together.
- NewSwap a Filter in Place - Turn one filter into another without rebuilding it, from its name menu or with ⌥← and ⌥→.
- NewDownload Direct - Get Camera Graph from this site or the Mac App Store. The direct build keeps itself up to date from Camera Graph › Check for Updates…
- NewDrag video files onto the player, mirror text and screen shares, press Enter to rename a scene or layer, and watch your master output on a level meter in the menu bar.
- ImprovedA Rebuilt Render Pipeline - Transitions went from a stutter to a smooth 60 fps at 4K. Dragging layers no longer spikes your CPU, screen shares no longer cost frame rate, and the beachball on heavy scenes is gone. Idle power draw dropped too.
- ImprovedRecordings That Survive - If Camera Graph crashes mid-take, your recording is saved up to the last second and recovered next launch. Quit while recording and it finishes the file first. Disk full? It tells you. Audio and video stay in sync in every recording, screen shares included.
- ImprovedBackground Removal, Rebuilt - Faster, and the edges keep up when you move.
- ImprovedUndo That Actually Undoes - A complete rewrite. Every edit is one clean step across every element type. No more ⌘Z that does nothing, no more crash after undoing a deleted layer.
- ImprovedA Fresh Look - A new two-cluster toolbar, a roomier default window, and Liquid Glass on macOS 26. Paging through scenes is smooth, with no hitches or frozen previews.
- ImprovedOnboarding - A rebuilt welcome, a clearer extension approval step, and the real macOS permission prompt instead of a dead-end link into System Settings.
- ImprovedMore Private - Analytics no longer use your IP address to estimate your location. The Privacy Policy is now in the Help menu.
- FixSwap headphones or speakers mid-session and the audio keeps going. Recording no longer changes your microphone's sample rate.
- FixIf macOS pulls screen recording permission, or a captured window closes or disconnects, Camera Graph tells you and recovers instead of freezing.
- FixLayer settings survive reload, undo, and duplicate. Each screen share keeps its own window selection.
- FixReconnected cameras come back in their original order, Multiview fits every scene on screen, and stale recording-folder bookmarks recover instead of failing silently.
- FixThe effects drawer's controls click reliably, filter previews no longer freeze a screen share, Settings no longer opens blank on the Privacy page, screen-capture alerts are quieter, and long device names fit in the microphone picker.
- Camera Graph 3.0 needs macOS 15 Sequoia or later on Apple silicon. Macs still on macOS 14 keep the last compatible build.
- NewBlackmagic Device Support - Connect Blackmagic capture devices directly. If you have the Blackmagic device driver installed, a new source option will appear in your add menu.
- New10 New Cinematic Transitions - Atomize, Chroma Shift, Data Stream, Energy Wipe, Explosion, Hexgate, Neon Tunnel, Origami, Rewind, and Singularity. See all transitions →
