thankchu for this! <3 ^- ^

Noira

hi there! was wondering, would manual camera switching be available? shoost is soo good i love it so much <3

Michael Fuchs

Hello, I have a problem: the app (0.8.2) crashes randomly, sometimes after a min, in best case after 10 mins... there is no specific thing that I do before. Are there suggestions what to do, maybe a crash log to see, or former versions to try?

TomSkyHendriks

Loving the program! Is there a way to connect the manual camera angle changes to hotkeys? I'd love to be able to record on OBS without the menu showing as I switch angles!

Xara Hellfire

I... don't know how to open the app, every tutorial says "download and open it" but I just have a bunch of zip files now w no application?

Cerileyn

I found a bug. Ever since version 0.7.2, every time I open Shoost from TouchPortal, the window, except for the uppermost left corner, is occupied with empty space and even resizing it does not fix it. TouchPortal is updated to the latest version, and I have tried running it as an administrator, but it still does not help. If I open it manually, by clicking on the exe file, it loads normally.

miko Yang

Very grateful to you to make the progranm, but I find that I can't open the download link in the article, do not know if you can provide another download link.

Hailey T

Hi is there a way that I can fix the crashing? I installed the latest version but crashes everytime whenever I stream for some reason

SHLO taku

I'm very excited to try this

Katt Phloxworthy

Curious, what are Shoost's baseline system requirements, especially on the graphics hardware side of things? I run a computer dedicated solely to the VTubing side of the house for various reasons, not the least of which is the reliance on Unity on just about all VTubing and VTuber accessory software. Current machine specifications are as follows: Hewlett-Packard ProDesk 600 G2 with the following: - Core i7 6700 3.4GHz - 16GB RAM - NVidia GeForce GT 1030 for graphics The rest of the stream is assembled by way of three other computers on my LAN. Thanks for any insights you may have! --Katt. =^.^=

Shuukiyaki

Hi MuRo, I really love using Shoost, thank you for creating it! However, whenever I stream it keeps crashing every 10-30 mins or so, which is not the norm I think. Am I doing something wrong? My CPU usage while streaming is around 60%, and I have 32gb of RAM, so I have no idea what is causing the crash. Looking forward to hearing back from you, as I really love the app but it makes me really sad that it crashes so often TT

Reiki Kira

Hi MuRo, on camera switcher effects, how to shortcut the camera if using manual timer?

Sjouklynne

Just want to say I love what you've done with Shoost so far, and I had two questions! I can't seem to get my audio to record? It reads as having a level in the audio settings but the recording is silent. As well, the camera movement, for manual mode, is it possible for us to set the framing/zoom for each camera manually? So that we can do live cutting camera to camera to the frames we like? Or am I missing this ability somewhere?

Azaka

I've had a blast using this so far

Arcticavt

ive been having issues where it kinda freezes umm also my model is abit dark purple and greens and i cant find a good color picker cuz it also has a black sheer to it

Bewyll

I am unable to get it to launch at all after extraction. If anyone knows why let me know!

Mhfsn

please add keyboard shortcuts for manual camera switcher. would be really helpful. thanks

Adam

please add camera switcher for custom positions and keyboard shortcuts 🥰

Semi

I: tryed to load the sample scene Scene witht he City Backgrond but it stays just Gray not letting me open the images

DeshHere

Will there be a StreamDeck plugin?

A.K.

Had a question about layers but figured out how to fix it. Lovely software, been enjoying very much, thank you!

Cerileyn

I don't know if it's just me or if anyone else has had an issue with this, but v0.11.2 would not load for me. Upon opening it for the first time, I got the usual "untrusted application" and chose to run anyway (as administrator). It then game me the usual "allow access" dialogue box, and it opened, but from then on, I could not get it to open again. Whenever I try to open it, I get a split second pop up window that displays the Shoost logo with a red box with "!" at the upper left corner (looks like an unread notification icon). Then the window immediately disappears. The title of the window reads: "Shoost_v0.11.2 - Unity 2021.3.28f1_232e59c3d087" I don't know if anyone else has seen this issue, so for the meantime, I am using v0.11.1.

Kayozia

every time I try to load a background image with Layer 1, the image doesn't load and just shows up as black. Any idea of what's going on?

Fleira

I really would love a self-timer for pictures to be impletemented ;v; it's hard to pose and take pictures without having this function. Would that be possibile in the future?

rox

i'm having a lot of issues adding in backgrounds at the moment...both jpegs and mp4s don't actually load and instead are just black as if it's not there. i've tried both 0.12.0 and going back to 0.11.2 and it's happening on both versions - is there a file limit?

PeaceDubz

thank you SO much for fixing the mouse issue! can't wait to see how far you take this new product!

Rabbit_Masks

Thank you so much for your hard work! I recently downloaded Shoost v0.13.1 and I saw that the "Blur & Sharpen" it only has the sharpen setting but not the Blur setting for the background. Was it moved or deleted?

RyokoGogo

So I guess lightroom is officially replaceable now lol. heck I can just use this for indie anime editing now instead of some other pro programs, this is so powerful now.

Caro T

Hi Muro, Can you please add Hotkey supprt for Effects? E.g. I love the Camera Switch Effect but I want to only use it while Karaoke. Is there a way to add this please? The Software is great but now needs just a bit of QoL

Edel Fura

For some reason Shoost 0.15.1 doesn't display my vseeface spout capture (all prior versions have worked seamlessly)

2026-09-09 22:00 Unsure if this is a bug but when using a quicktime mov with RGB+Alpha, Shoost does not accept it. If you need a sample file I can DM one!

Hi!! I love Shoost so much and it makes recording covers so much easier 💖 I would like to ask if there are plans to make a Mac version of this software? I don't have access to my PC half of the time so it would be so convenient to have it in my macbook if I'm on the go!

agmaa

Thanks for the awesome app! But I’ve got a problem — Shoost keeps minimizing itself and popping up over other windows on my PC, and sometimes it even minimizes other programs too. It also keeps flashing on the taskbar, and when I try to capture it in OBS, it flickers there as well. Any idea what could be causing this?

Nerummi

im having a problem where the background wont load , or in general onthing happens when i press " import " in the background button , has anyone found a solution for this ?

Braver Kyubei ASMR

thank u for ur hard work and dedication, appreciate u!

Fish

For some reason, I cannot get shoost's application to open on my computer. It opens fine on my old pc that has windows 10, but my new pc that has windows 11 refuses to open the application. My firewall settings isn't blocking it, so I am not sure what could be causing it to not open even when I run it as administrator.

uve

Hello, i have been trying to use shoost but nothing i have tried gets the program to detect any window/spout2 to capture on shoost, so i am always stuck with [Layer 2 Select] and it never detects anything. Same with any other option. Yes, spout2 is installed, latest version, vtubestudio does allow spout2 capture, it is also ticked in the shoosts settings aswell. Is it a bug or what am i doing wrong?

qianqian

Hello, MuRo. We are using Shoost_v0.16.3. When outputting via NDI, a noticeable green line appears on the far right of the screen in 1080x1920 portrait mode. However, this does not occur in 1920x1080 landscape mode. Is this a software bug? We are using portrait live streaming. If this is a bug, will it be fixed in a future version? Thank you for developing such excellent software.

MukyaVT

Im having an issue with the transparency? it's affecting assets and my clothes, making them invisible like in my sleeves...

BabyPink ASMR

Hey, I know we have this little program to change the format of a video, but is there a way to include in it background with audio? A lot of background from booth include audio, and I would be fine with no audio, but the background is just not loading and the program doesnt want to work with a video with audio track as well.

not hushi

please add hotkey/toggle/streamdeck support! its the only other thing that this needs IMO! love shoost!

Meemeesh

Hey MuRo ! i had the old version of this and recently updates to the newest 17.3 and theres a bug where it keeps forcing Shoost and Vtube Studios to the front of any and all other applications, so if i have it behind a game it pops it up interupting the game or if i have it minimized it force closes both apps, its also forcing my mouse out of games somehow ? (ex in the game PEAK without shoost i can move around freely in one monitor but the second i open shoost my mouse can travel out of game to other monitors) Any recs on how to fix this on my end would be appreciated!

Blizado

Thanks for this tool, super easy to use but also super powerful.

Kelvin Tan

Thank you, hope to have 60fps mode too!

Alterly Vtuber

hello! thanks for brilliant apps! Do you have tutorial for windows capture? I tried everything I can but I still can't get the windows capture, or I am just dumb lol. Thank you in advance!

Jazz Rabbit

Can it support virtual cameras?

Ren Akai

I am using Windows 7 and it runs well when using images and videos. However, I cannot make the Window Capture work at all, I have tried to enter the window name just like the demo. Is there a specific tutorial for this?

Nekaishi

Is there any way to save settings?

Nekaishi

The new Chrome Key settings make it so I cant properly remove the background. The Hue Range, Saturation Range and Brightness Range I'm able to get a very very nice removal of the background but the 2 that are there in the newer version I cant :(

Tsukiko Chica

Hey! Quick question - where can I submit a bug report? Is there a log file somewhere I can access within the Shoost files that can help with reporting crashes? I just got a BSOD while I had Shoost on full-screen and went to Alt-tab into VTube Studio while attempting to change chroma key settings and it forced my system to reboot. Thought it would be helpful information for you as you continue to work on this really amazing product!

Jin

Hi, was wondering if there was a way to crop a window capture in Shoost right now? Similar to how in OBS, you can crop the window capture by holding down Alt.

Jenis Sun

it would be amazing if there's an option to save the settings of the objects and effects! thank you for your hard work!

AerevyrVT

Hello~ Not terribly important, but is there a way for Shoost to capture the audio of imported videos at all? Just for times when we don't want to fire up our recording software and add the audio ourselves, sometimes I just like making a 15s snippet via NVidia Shadowplay. I absolutely adore using this~!

dokebu

Amazing program! I'm hoping for a "save settings" option, a fix for the Window Capture dropping frames below 60fps, more effects and customizations :))

Emalee

the camera option isnt there for me im not sure why?

ᗩᑎYᗩ ✽

This is such a cool program, and the filters are all so smooth and realistic! I love it! A suggestion I'd want to add for this is to be able to import a .gif file on the layers, it seems a little too heavy to be importing .mp4 at times~

Len

Hi! Just got this today and I want to say that it's been really nice to use so far. A few things on my end as feedback, however (if they're already implemented and I'm just plain missing it, that's fine): - I'm not sure if this is just me, but when capturing VTube Studio, I still get the outer border of the window. - Also if there's a way to implement the option to turn off seeing the mouse on screen in the future, that would also be great! - I love the shake feature for this, but I was wondering if it could be a little more customizable in the future? In terms of like, speed/amount of shaking? Other than that, super excited to see this grow!

Corianas

Hi, is there an API to trigger things from other programs? I would love to have the explosion effect to be triggered by other programs. (as an example)

Yuno Rein

Hi! Is the camera shake customizable? The effect is a bit too strong for what I'm aiming, thank you!

Tsuki After Dark

Hi! I love your software and thank you so much for making it. Doing pictures and videos are so much fun now. I see that you have can save scenes now to save your work and that's great! Will there be a way in the future to download screenshots and videos from Shoost itself so we won't have to use a third party like OBS?

Kisaka Toriama

Is there any way to add functionality for webcam sources? For example, Vtubestudio Virtual Cam?

Jazz Rabbit

hello,Can it support vertical screen?

399-CY (Eggy)

Awesome update, thank you!!! I've been waiting for more granular camera controls for a bit :D

Dianko Lastrea

I tried to add VSeeFace on a window capture and program doesn't respond ;^;

Nol Tendo

hello, the camera portion isn't showing up for me for some reason!

2026-09-09 22:00 Hello! I was wondering if there is a way to make the background transparent through the Spout Capture when importing it into OBS, since at the moment it shows a black screen behind the model. I'd also love it if it could have support for a vertical dimensions. Thank you!
2022-09-03 22:17

Kanen

Hi! I have been supporting you in silence for a while now but I wanted to ask, if there's a way to capture the screen of the program vseeface? It's very popular with 3D vtubers! It shows up when I want to window caputure it in shoost, but the screen disappears a second later and I have to very awkwardly import vseeface into obs and then import obs into shoost :/

Sashi

Was just wondering if you would ever consider adding Mac support? ;v; Just switched bc my old computer died to an Apple silicon laptop for school and not sure if this program would work on it

Ebiki

I found a bug actually, when it isn't full screen, the color selector for the effects doesn't appear whereas if it is full screen, it works perfectly fine

Aria Starlight

Hello! Is support for VTubeStudio's 'Transparent in capture' still in the works? I hope so~ Thanks for all your hard work! Your program is useful and also truly fun to use

Mira Luna

Thank you so much for fixing the UI bug where the clicking spot doesn't match when the window is maximized! I've been using this a lot haha

Lotl Love

I'm really looking forward to using this tool! Unfortunately, I didn't get far before getting stuck. I can't get the UI bar with the "Layers, Effects, Settings" buttons to appear. It was showing up for a few minutes, but after I closed and re-started the program, I only have access to the layers and can only put in my model and background. Is there a hotkey to bring that top part down?

Jessica Davis

NEW UPDATE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! <3
