The complete CoreVideo production studio
Produce polished live conversations from your Zoom calls.
CoreVideo Pro is the premium, all-in-one studio for live Zoom production: everything the CoreVideo plugin captures, plus multi-scene production, participant management, recording and multi-destination streaming, and an AI auto-director - in one standalone app for producers who want a dedicated, ready-to-go console.
The complete production studio
CoreVideo Pro is a cross-platform (macOS and Windows) Zoom-native studio. Here is the full capability set the product is built toward - everything you need to take a Zoom call to a finished, broadcast-quality show:
Zoom capture & media core
- True Zoom Meeting SDK raw video and audio - no window or virtual-camera hacks
- Clean per-participant video, audio, and screen-share capture
- GPU compositor (Direct3D on Windows, Metal on macOS)
- Isolated capture process, automatic reconnect, and webinar mode
Scenes, templates & switching
- One-click professional templates: solo, interview, panel, screen-share, webinar
- Grid, speaker-focus, and picture-in-picture layouts with slot rules
- Program/preview workflow with explicit Take and Cut/Fade/Slide transitions
- Save and reload complete show presets
AI direction
- Magic Scene builds a ready-to-stream show from the live call
- Set & Forget auto-director switches on active speaker and screen share
- Role-aware logic - host for intros, presenter for shares, speaker for discussion
- Manual overrides always win, with one click back to auto
Participants & framing
- Every participant treated as a production-ready source, not a raw feed
- Face-aware auto-crop, centering, and manual zoom override
- Speaker holds to prevent rapid cutting, with graceful video-drop fallback
- Stable Host / Presenter / Panelist / Guest role overrides
Audio
- Per-participant gain with smart auto-leveling and manual trim
- Per-source noise suppression, mute, and solo
- Master meter with limiter and clipping warnings
- A/V sync offset for local capture sources
Graphics, captions & branding
- Auto lower-thirds from Zoom name and role, with manual override
- Real-time program captions with speaker-name attribution
- Brand kit - logo, color, font, background - applied automatically
- Brand bug, banners, call-to-action overlays, and per-source chroma key
Local cameras (Blackmagic & AJA)
- Auto-detect DeckLink/UltraStudio and AJA Io/Kona, with hot-plug
- SDI/HDMI input selection with embedded or separate audio
- Local cameras as first-class sources, fillable into any slot
- Sub-100ms preview latency with signal-health monitoring
Recording & streaming
- Local MP4/MOV recording up to 4K at 30/60fps
- Multi-destination RTMP/NDI/SRT with YouTube, Twitch, and custom presets
- Per-participant ISO recording for clean guest capture
- Hardware encoding (NVENC, Quick Sync, AMF, VideoToolbox) with output preflight
