SplitCam/Changelog
Changelog

Every version, every release.

Full version history of SplitCam across all platforms — Windows (70 releases back to January 2020) and macOS (34 releases back to June 2019). Android release notes start with version 6.10.18.2. iOS and SplitCam Remote (iPhone and iPad) release notes are taken from the App Store version history.

SplitCam for Windows. Every release back to v10.0.26 (January 2020). Top 3 expanded by default — click any older version to view its changes. Installers for older versions, back to SplitCam 4, are listed at the end of this page. The latest installer is always free to download from the home page.
v11.0.16

Updated

  • The interface is fully translated into all 35 languages, including AI Layer, Remote Camera, camera sharing, stream health warnings, audio filters and the names of effects, transitions, frames and LUTs. Translations that did not fit their place are shorter, and spelling mistakes in the English text are corrected.
  • Filipino and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) are now offered in the language list, and languages are shown by their own names. On the first start SplitCam suggests the language closest to the Windows language.
  • A new interface language is applied after restarting SplitCam, so all windows use the same language.
  • A strings.txt file in the user loc folder now changes only the strings it contains instead of replacing the whole translation.
  • Dialogs, buttons, menus and settings make room for longer translations: standard buttons are wider, menus are as wide as their longest item, checkboxes take one line and buttons of the main window are as wide as their text.
  • A dialog opened from another dialog now keeps it inactive until it is closed.
  • The restream server settings open with the gear button next to "Use restream server" in the settings. The help button of the streams list is removed.
  • Remote Camera explains how to install Bonjour when it is missing and opens its download page.
  • The camera sharing dialog has an illustration and larger text.
  • SplitCam is always installed for the current user, and the installer shows the current step in its progress window. A version installed for all users must be uninstalled first; the installer reports it.
  • "Want your website listed here?" in the stream service dialog opens the page for adding a site.
  • The Localizer tool has been removed.

Fixed

  • Fixed a crash with webcams that send MJPEG video, and memory growing while a webcam is used.
  • Fixed a crash when editing a stream with the streams list open.
  • Fixed a possible crash when a scene hotkey is released while SplitCam is closing.
  • Fixed upgrading SplitCam when the folder of the previous version was deleted, error 2803 when SplitCam was running during installation, and error 1603 when an application was using the SplitCam camera.
  • Fixed the preview of a SplitCam camera in the Windows camera settings flickering every second.
v11.0.15

New

  • Added AI Layer to the media menu. Describe a layer in your own words and SplitCam creates it with OpenAI, then refine it in the chat of the layer. AI Layers can use images, video and audio from the internet and generate images and speech; they are saved with the project. An OpenAI API key is required.
  • Added Remote Camera > Phone Camera App: video and audio from the SplitCam app on your phone over the local network, up to 4K, with focus, exposure and white balance control, background blur and removal, person blur and skin smoothing. Phones are found automatically through Bonjour for Windows. The former Phone camera source is now Remote Camera > Phone Cam Browser.
  • When a Windows 11 SplitCam virtual camera can be used by only one application at a time, SplitCam offers to open its Windows settings to allow several applications at once. The question can be turned off with "Don't ask anymore".

Updated

  • Web Browser sources now use Chromium 150 instead of Chromium 105.
  • Sign-ins and site data of Web Browser sources are shared by all browser layers and kept between scenes, projects and restarts. Select "Use private data storage" when adding a browser layer to keep its data separate. Existing browser layers keep their own data.
  • Blusher works faster and uses less memory, especially when several layers use it.

Fixed

  • Fixed crashes when a webcam is reinitialized, for example while another program is using it.
  • Fixed crashes in background effects.
  • Fixed a crash when seeking in video files.
  • Fixed possible crashes in slideshow transitions, when a source changes its size, when a progress window closes, while streaming and when stopping a stream through the restream server.

  • Fixed a possible crash after closing IP camera sources.
  • Fixed video freezing during scene transitions with several sources.
  • Fixed SplitCam hanging on exit in rare cases.
  • Fixed browser layers staying transparent the first time SplitCam starts after installation.
  • Fixed the main window staying behind other windows after a slow start.
  • Fixed the webcam layer of a new default scene not matching the canvas resolution set in the options.
  • Fixed Twitch sign-in reporting an unsupported browser.
  • Fixed muted audio sources becoming unmuted when a scene is duplicated.
v11.0.14

Updated

  • All SplitCam program files are now digitally signed, so Windows Smart App Control no longer prevents SplitCam from starting (error 0xc0e90002).
  • Streaming and recording keep at most 256 MB of video waiting for the encoders. If there is not enough memory for the selected resolution, SplitCam reports it instead of crashing.
  • YouTube stream keys and sign-in tokens and OnlyFans session data are no longer written to the log file.

Fixed

  • Fixed SplitCam closing at once without a crash report when starting a stream through the restream server or recording into a folder with "%" in its name.
  • Fixed a crash on Windows 10 when changing the cursor capture option of a screen or window source, and screen sources showing nothing after loading a project.
  • Fixed crashes when a scene preview window cannot be created by the graphics card and when deleting scenes afterwards.
  • Fixed a crash when switching scenes while a layer is moving.
  • Fixed crashes of layers with rounded corners when they are cropped, hidden or resized during drawing, and a memory leak on every crop change.
  • Fixed possible crashes in face and body tracking effects, including faces at the edge of the frame and portrait video.
  • Fixed a possible crash when stopping a stream or a recording.
  • Fixed a recording or stream stopped right after starting going on in the background with the button off.
  • Fixed the setup wizard leaving its performance test stream in the project: every stream then also encoded a hidden extra output, and the next speed test could switch to the restream server. Such leftover test streams are removed when a project is loaded.
  • Fixed a failed YouTube sign-in being reported as successful.
v11.0.13

New

  • Added a Virtual Camera page to SplitCam Settings. It lets you rename each installed SplitCam virtual camera: the WDM driver camera, the horizontal and vertical DirectShow cameras and the horizontal and vertical Windows 11 cameras. Cameras that are not installed are not shown. The virtual camera input settings have moved to this page as well.
  • Added the Kick streaming channel. SplitCam signs in to Kick and gets the stream server and key automatically.
  • SplitCam now warns about streaming problems without interrupting the stream: a slow network, an overloaded encoder or computer, and lost connections to the server.
  • Added the "Use restream server (for slow internet only)" option to the Additional settings. It replaces the restream button of the stream settings and is off after the update.

Updated

  • RTMP streams stay smooth on unstable networks: SplitCam adapts the bitrate to the available bandwidth, drops late video instead of sending it in bursts and reconnects faster. 720p presets now use 3.5 Mbit/s (4 Mbit/s for hardware encoders).
  • Updated FFmpeg to version 9.0.2. AV1 video files are now decoded with libdav1d.
  • Background Blur, Remove Background, Color Pop, Aura and Spotlight stay smooth on computers without a suitable graphics card.

  • Enlarged the stream preset dialog so that all encoder parameters fit.

Fixed

  • Fixed SplitCam staying in memory and failing to start again after closing it with a dialog open.
  • Starting SplitCam while it is running now brings its window to the front instead of showing an error.

  • Fixed a crash when loading projects with audio files, and silent M4A, WAV and Ogg Vorbis files.
  • Fixed crashes when playing AV1 video files and video freezing on damaged video files.
  • Fixed crashes when the setup wizard starts or stops a test stream and in the Add Game dialog.
  • Fixed the setup wizard showing a failed speed test as 0 Mb/s and an error instead of the CPU name.
  • Fixed YouTube sign-in failing when the YouTube permission was not selected on the Google page.
  • Fixed the virtual camera name setting renaming only the horizontal DirectShow camera. Renamed SplitCam virtual cameras are no longer offered as video sources in SplitCam.
