Live multi-camera production for macOS

Run the
whole show from one Mac.

I have worked in live streaming for more than ten years. When I moved from Windows to the Mac I couldn't find the live production software I needed, so I built it. InterDirector is a native Mac console for running a multi-camera show on your own: switching, audio, graphics, streaming, recording and instant replay in one app.

Why it exists

Made by one person, for the Mac.

Live streaming is a core part of my business, and I have done it for over a decade. When I moved from Windows to the Mac I found a gap where my live production software used to be, and InterDirector is what I built to fill it. It has one developer and no big company behind it, so it grows at one person's pace and does not do everything the largest Windows tools do.

Native, start to finish

Swift and Metal on Apple Silicon. The picture is composited on the GPU, sound runs through Core Audio, and streams are encoded by the Mac's own media engine.

Tested on long shows

InterDirector has been tested thoroughly on broadcasts that run for many hours. If you find a bug and tell me, I will fix it as soon as I can. Good ideas are welcome too, and some end up in the app. Write to info@interdirector.com.

Paid for by the people who use it

There are no investors. InterDirector will be paid software, and buying a licence pays directly for its development.

Switching

See it switch.

Screen capture from InterDirector itself: load a source into Preview, choose how it goes to air, and take it.

What's inside

One app for the whole desk.

The parts of a live desk a solo operator actually uses, in one place, without a stack of separate tools.

Switching

Preview, Program, and transitions

Cut, Fade, Fade to Black and Dip, a T-bar, and a clean fullscreen Program on any display your Mac detects.

Inputs

Bring in anything

NDI, USB and UVC capture, Blackmagic SDI, Core Audio devices, web pages, images, media and slideshows. Combine any of them into a Composite that switches like a camera.

Audio

Three stereo mixes. VST3 on every path.

Route each source to Master, A or B, add Apple Silicon VST3 effects to sources and mixes, and line up cameras and microphones with per-input sync delay.

Overlays

Graphics that update themselves

HTML overlays for lower thirds, tickers and logos, bound to CSV or JSON data, with countdowns typed straight into any text.

Outputs

Stream, record, send

RTMP, RTMPS and SRT to several destinations from one encode. Program out to any connected display, over NDI and over SDI. Record Program, and record armed inputs to their own files.

Replay

Instant replay

Keep the last minute of Program, capture the moment, and play it back in slow motion or at normal speed, over Program or instead of it.

Control

Hotkeys, Stream Deck, automations

Every live action is assignable. A Stream Deck plug-in with state feedback, and rules that say: when this happens, do that.

Every feature, in detail

Reliability

Built for the long shift.

Things go wrong on live shows, and there is no second take. This is what InterDirector does when they do.

Sources come back on their own

A camera, capture device or NDI sender that drops is retried until it returns, and its card says it is retrying.
Recordings survive a crash

Files are written in one-second fragments, so a power cut keeps everything up to the last second.
Outputs fail on their own

A stalled stream does not stop the recording, and neither touches Program.
Your Show stays safe

Autosave keeps a Last Show copy that is offered again at launch, and a damaged file opens with a list of what was repaired.

FAQ

Questions people ask.

Is InterDirector a vMix alternative?

vMix is Windows software. InterDirector is a native Mac app that covers the parts of that workflow a Mac operator needs: NDI-based switching, audio, graphics, streaming, recording and replay. It is not a clone, it does not open vMix projects, and as one developer's app it does not do everything vMix does.

Which Macs and which macOS?

Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 15 or later. Intel Macs are not supported.

What capture hardware does it support?

NDI sources on your network, USB capture that macOS exposes as a camera (a capture card such as the Elgato Cam Link is one example), and Blackmagic capture devices through Blackmagic's Desktop Video software.

Can I use my VST3 plug-ins?

Yes: Apple Silicon native VST3 effects, on sources and on mixes. Instruments are not supported.

How does it get updates?

InterDirector checks for signed updates at launch and once a day, and installs one only when you say. It never checks while you are streaming, recording or sending NDI.
