How it works

Toggle camera on in the recording controls and select your webcam. ShipClip records your camera as a separate track and composites it as a PiP overlay on your screen recording.

You can choose from built-in cameras, external USB cameras, or even a connected iPhone/iPad as a camera source.

Positioning

The camera PiP defaults to the bottom-right corner. You can drag it to any corner (bottom-left, top-right, top-left) or reposition it freely by dragging on the video preview.

In the editing inspector, you can adjust the PiP size (10–40% of the output width) and add internal padding.

Background removal

ShipClip runs real-time person segmentation during recording using Apple's Vision framework. This creates a silhouette mask that you can use during editing to remove or blur your background.

Three background options are available in the editor:

• Original: No changes, full camera frame
• Blur: Gaussian blur on the background, keeping you in focus
• Remove: Transparent background, showing just you as a cutout

Camera shape

You can change the shape of the camera overlay in the style settings:

• Landscape: Native aspect ratio with rounded corners (default)
• Circle: Circular mask
• Square: Square with rounded corners
• Portrait: Vertical 2:3 rectangle with rounded corners

Corner radius, shadow, and fill color are all adjustable per shape.

Tips

• ShipClip attempts to capture at 1080p, falling back to 720p or your camera's native resolution.
• Background removal works best with good lighting and a clear separation between you and your background.
• Requires the Camera permission.
