We are excited to introduce a significant enhancement regarding Capture Presets (available since v.6.1). In addition to conventional file outputs, users can now leverage HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) output. This feature broadens the scope of possibilities for seamless integration into your third-party systems' workflow.
The introduction of HLS output enables the effortless realtime real-time sharing of recordings with external production personnel using web-based players and annotation tools. Simply provide them with the URL, and they can easily track the recording using a standard web server.
It's important to note that the web server component is not included in just:in mac 2025 and needs to be installed and configured separately.

In this example, we will use the preinstalled Apache web server on macOS, but you are free to choose any other web server for this workflow. Be aware that a reliable setup with any available web server is required, so ensure that you test your workflow before deploying it in a production environment.

Destination Preset
Next, create a new Destination Preset that points to the web server's new “DocumentRoot” directory, as this will serve as the Destination Preset for the HLS Capture Preset.
HLS Output Testflight
Now that all components are configured, open the Just Control user interface and select the newly created HLS Capture Preset along with the appropriate Destination Preset, then start the recording process.
