Mirage for Mac showing a group of three sources in a grid: an iPad capture card and two iPhone cameras

Mirage for Mac showing a group: an iPad capture card, the Mac’s screen, the Mac’s camera, and an iPhone camera in one arranged picture

Groups that arrange themselves.

Drag one source onto another to make a group. Cameras float in bubbles over a shared screen or capture card, or sit side by side in a grid. Switch which one is main yourself, or turn on Follow the Speaker and let the loudest voice lead.

Add a title, your logo, and a chroma key to any group. Advanced lets you place every layer by hand.

Mirage for Mac showing an iPhone camera, with Virtual Camera on

Mirage Camera, in every app.

Turn on Virtual Camera, then choose “Mirage Camera” in Zoom, Google Meet, FaceTime, Teams, Discord, or OBS. Show one camera or a whole group, with no plugin.

Whatever the virtual camera shows gets a purple edge on its device, so everyone knows which camera is on.

The Mirage for Mac recording player with captions, markers, and a lane for every camera

Every angle, its own file.

Record makes a folder with a file for every camera, screen, and microphone, all starting together. A timeline for Final Cut Pro (FCPXML) and for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve (OpenTimelineIO) has your cuts and markers in place.

iPhones and iPads keep a full-quality copy of their own, and the Mac downloads it into the same folder. Markers are saved as YouTube chapters.
