About Webcam 2
Webcam 2 is a panel from Hyper Brew that integrates a live webcam feed directly within Adobe applications, allowing the feed to sit alongside your project timeline. It supports After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign for the 2025 and 2026 releases. The panel provides two display options: Fill mode zooms the feed to fill the panel, while Fit mode scales it to fit entirely. Version 2.1.0 adds framerate and bitrate adjustments for recording quality and fixes for variable‑rate video sources. Installation is performed via the ZXP Installer by dragging the .zxp file onto the installer and restarting the host application. A demo video and full changelog are available on Hyper Brew’s website.
