SoloDirector

Filming yourself is guesswork. You set up the shot, walk to your mark, and hope you're in frame and in focus — then walk back to a three-inch screen to find out you weren't. Ruined takes pile up.

SoloDirector turns the laptop already on your desk into a professional camera monitor. Connect your camera, sit down, and see exactly what it sees — big, sharp, and readable from across the room. No more walking back and forth. No more guessing.

WHAT YOU GET • Live focus peaking — a bright outline on whatever's sharp, so your eyes are tack-sharp every take. • Oversized REC indicator — know it's actually recording from your mark, not squinting at a tiny dot. • Real-time exposure cues — nail your levels before you shoot, not in editing. • Auto-detection — plug in and your camera shows up. Sony, Canon, Fujifilm — any mirrorless or DSLR with clean video out. • Sub-3-frame latency — fast enough to react to. No Wi-Fi, no lag, no flaking out mid-shoot. • Private by design — your camera feed is processed locally and never leaves your device.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Connect your camera — USB-C direct, or HDMI through any capture card (Elgato, AVerMedia, or a generic one). Your PC sees it as a standard video device. No drivers to install.
2. Open SoloDirector — your camera is detected automatically. Pick the source and you're live in one click.
3. Sit down and shoot — your laptop is now your monitor: focus peaking, REC indicator, and exposure cues, all readable from your mark.

WHO IT'S FOR Solo YouTubers, course creators, beauty and lifestyle creators, and anyone who shoots themselves and is tired of ruined takes. If you've ever filmed a perfect take only to find it was soft, or never started recording — this is for you.
