What you need

Cinemac needs macOS 15 Sequoia or later. A Mac with Apple silicon gives the smoothest editing and fastest exports. iPhone and iPad recording needs a cable.


macOS	macOS 15 Sequoia or later
Mac	A Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later) is recommended for smooth editing and fast exports.
Space	Recordings are kept in full, so leave a few GB free. HEVC in Settings › Recording makes files about half the size.
iPhone or iPad	Connected with a cable. See Record an iPhone or iPad.
AI narration	Your own ElevenLabs or HeyGen account. See Connect your accounts.

Optional

Apple Speech transcription needs macOS 26. On older versions Cinemac uses its own models, which it downloads once.
A microphone and a camera, if you want to be heard and seen. Your Mac's built-in ones work fine.

Good to know

Cinemac for Windows runs on Windows 10 (version 1903 or later) and Windows 11, 64-bit: download it from cinemac.app/windows. There's no web version.
