In this video, Jon Roberts from PTZOptics breaks down the cinematic camera control tools built directly into Hive Studio — no hardware controller required.
Hive Studio is PTZOptics’ free camera control platform that enables both local and remote PTZ camera control. Many users don’t realize just how powerful the built-in cinematic tools really are. Using only a mouse, you can create smooth, precise, cinematic pan, tilt, and zoom movements that rival traditional joystick control.
🎥 What You’ll Learn:
• How Hive Studio enables remote PTZ camera control with ultra-low latency
• Using the Move Tool for fine, tripod-style camera adjustments
• How the Joystick Tool adapts to your pan/tilt speed settings
• How Fast Frame lets you instantly reframe shots with a double-click
• How Click-to-Center creates smooth cinematic camera moves
• What Cinematic Mode does and how Motion Sync improves movement
• Why Hive Studio is perfect for live production, studios, and events
Best of all, Hive Studio is free for one camera and works with PTZ cameras via NDI or RTSP.
