Lighting Design software
Save time with a lighting design, documentation and visualisation software that is both easy to learn and rewarding to use! Capture is a native macOS and Windows application that lets you work with lighting, video, laser, moving scenery and water effects. Where Capture truly excels is with its ease of use and seamless switching between design, documentation and visualization. This provides an unprecedented level of flexibility and ability to support different types of design processes. It encourages you to try out new workflows and find faster ways of working.
Designing with Capture
Whether you're looking to create a simple 2D sketch or a full-blown 3D plot, Capture has you covered. Try as many fixtures as you need, at different hanging positions and with different gels or gobos. Adapt easily to any set design changes or sudden new restrictions. Do even more with Capture's impressive 3D model import capabilities and excellent integration with other lighting control and design products.

New to Capture 2026
Editing
Capture 2025 replaced Windows and macOS property lists with its own implementation - in Capture 2026 they have also replaced property tables with their own implementation. Property tables form the foundation of the Fixtures tab as well as the Layers category in the Design tab. With this implementation of both property lists and property tables you are able to take editing to a new level.
Layers
Easier to deal with larger amounts of layers. It is now possible to group layers, collapse layers groups and move layers between groups.
Fixtures
A new type of incremental editing, combined with copy and paste, and automatic "next value" suggestions, has turned the Fixtures tab into a powerful spreadsheet editor. The new Fixture Details command allows you to bring up a mini version of it on demand, providing a new and faster workflow for bulk data input.
LED strips
Introduction of new generic LED Strip fixture. It replaces previous workflows involving texture generators combined with imported UV-mapped objects.
Custom fixtures
For the first time it is now possible to expand the fixture library with your own custom build fixtures. Allowing you to import IES files, which is important for a multitude of architectural applications.
Universes
Redesigned universe naming and numbering. The universe number is now the primary universe identifier, with the name being optional. Thanks to the improvements in property tables, it is now easy to renumber and remap universes to external universes.
Rigging
Enabling more advanced rigging workflows through the introduction of slings, including an integration with Production Assist for performing structural calculations.
Visualisation
Taking the simulation of smoke to a whole new level, with a physically correct participating media simulation. Combined with an improved bloom effect and the addition of lens flares, you can almost touch the smoke on screen.
