Live production software running vision mixing, replay, titles, audio, and streaming from one machine, with the Pro input count, four channel replay, and unlimited recording all unlocked.
Overview
This is a full television gallery running on one computer. Camera inputs, video files, still images, remote guests, screen captures, and network sources all arrive as inputs, get mixed with proper transitions on a preview and program pair, and go out to a stream, a recording, and an external output at the same time. Small broadcasters and sports clubs run entire productions on it because the alternative is a rack of dedicated hardware.
Input handling is where the Pro level matters. Capture cards, cameras over the network, and remote contributors joining through a browser link all appear as ordinary inputs with tally, audio routing, and delay control. The virtual set feature places presenters into a 3D environment with a proper key, and multi view layouts are built by dragging inputs into position rather than through a layer dialogue.
Instant replay is the feature that sells it to sports producers. Four synchronised camera angles are recorded continuously, and any moment can be marked, replayed at variable speed, and pushed to program while the live coverage continues. Events can be listed, reordered, and exported as a highlight package at the end of the match without leaving the application.
Audio is handled as a real mixer rather than as a slider per input, with per channel processing, bus routing, delay compensation for network sources, and follow logic that opens a microphone when its camera goes to program. Streaming runs to several destinations at once with independent bitrates, recording continues at a higher quality alongside, and the whole production state can be saved as a preset for the next event.

Questions
The Pro level, with the full input count, four channel instant replay, and unrestricted recording length.
Not for network sources, screen capture, or files. Physical cameras over SDI or HDMI do need a capture device.
Yes, with independent quality settings, and to several streaming destinations simultaneously.
Yes. The common control protocols are supported, along with keyboard shortcut mapping for every function.
Adobe's flagship timeline editor in its 2026 form, with the rebuilt media engine, caption workflow, and colour management that the studio release ships, packaged to install and open without any account step.
The compositing and motion graphics application, complete with the multi-frame render engine, the 3D workspace, and every bundled effect plugin the studio version installs.
The lightweight editor that took over short form video, in a desktop build with the premium effect library, auto captions, and background removal unlocked and the watermark step removed.
The Studio tier of the grading and finishing suite, which adds the neural engine tools, unlimited resolution, noise reduction, and multi-GPU support that the free version withholds.
