Advanced camera control for real-time CG cinematography
VirtuCamera Pro expands the standard VirtuCamera 2 workflow with advanced tools built for filmmakers, cinematographers, layout artists, and teams that need more than basic camera capture.
It builds on VirtuCamera’s realtime 6DoF motion capture, live viewport streaming, configurable capture up to 60 FPS, and secure encrypted communication between app and DCC plug-in.
VirtuCamera Pro UI
Built for higher-end camera workflows
VirtuCamera already lets you move your Apple or Android device like a virtual camera and send that motion directly to your 3D software over Wi-Fi, then record the result as keyframes when you are ready. VirtuCamera Pro takes that foundation further with deeper camera controls, preset-driven controls, custom scripting hooks, custom DCC attributes, joystick PTZ operation, the Hitchcock Vertigo/dolly-zoom effect and other improvements.
More camera controls
VirtuCamera Pro adds more camera controls, including reverting camera status and creating a new camera as well as changing sequentially between cameras, so setup and iteration become faster during layout, previs, or shot development.
This sits naturally on top of VirtuCamera’s existing core controls for playback management, camera switching, focal length recording, movement scaling, and real-time steady-cam smoothing.
New camera controls
Preset values for focal lengthSlider presets
VirtuCamera Pro includes slider presets for common values, which helps standardize repeated attribute setups and speeds up everyday operation.
This is especially useful in workflows where teams revisit the same focal lengths, movement scales, or preferred control ranges across multiple shots.
Custom Python script handling
VirtuCamera Pro includes custom Python script handling, giving teams a way to connect the app workflow to extra actions beyond the default toolset, being able to control the DCC via its python API.
This fits well with the wider VirtuCamera ecosystem, which also exposes the PyVirtuCamera Python API for custom plug-ins and in-house integrations.

Mapped custom scene or camera attributes inside a host applicationCustom DCC attributes handling
VirtuCamera Pro Version also includes custom DCC attributes handling, which makes the tool easier to adapt to the controls and scene data already used in production.
That means VirtuCamera Pro is not only about driving transform motion, but about fitting more cleanly into real working scenes and customized host setups.
Joystick PTZ camera control
VirtuCamera Pro adds joystick-based PTZ camera control, including on-screen controls and Bluetooth controller support such as PlayStation and Xbox controllers.
This gives operators another input method for camera movement and opens up a more tactile way to drive pan, tilt, and zoom style operation.

Hitchcock Vertigo/dolly-zoom effectHitchcock Vertigo/dolly-zoom effect
VirtuCamera Pro includes the Hitchcock Vertigo or dolly zoom effect, giving users direct access to one of the most recognizable cinematic camera moves.
It is the ideal feature to showcase visually because it communicates cinematography tool immediately, even to visitors who are scanning quickly.
Built on the VirtuCamera 2 foundation
VirtuCamera Pro sits on top of the same standard platform features:
- Realtime 6DoF motion capture from Apple and Android devices.
- Live viewport streaming over Wi-Fi to the app.
- Tablet-ready viewing for larger on-set or desk-side monitoring.
- Configurable capture and streaming up to 60 FPS.
- Secure encrypted communication between app and plug-in.
Current plug-in support
All the new Pro features are supported in the current plug-ins:
(2023, 2024 for Pro Business coming soon!!)
For teams, studios,
and custom integrations
VirtuCamera Pro can also be extended with the PyVirtuCamera Python API for custom plug-ins and in-house software integrations. For studios and companies: for pipeline consultations, team licensing, onboarding, and workflow-specific feature or software integration needs.
Deeper control for demanding
virtual camera work
VirtuCamera Pro is for users who want faster setup, more repeatable operation, and more cinematic control inside a realtime CG workflow.
As we know you may require commercial licensing or even high customization depending on your workflows with our Pro Version, we have different tiers to accommodate your needs.
