Lightcraft Jetset review
A focused iOS/macOS toolkit for mobile previz, tracking, and green-screen work.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Lightcraft Jetset is an iPhone and iPad virtual-production application for filmmakers, cinematographers, and creators who need mobile previz, camera tracking, and live compositing. It combines ARKit-based tracking with real-time 3D rendering of USDZ models, Scene Locator technology for matching live and virtual locations, and recorded takes that include camera footage, composites, and tracking metadata. The result is a focused workflow for green-screen production and location-based visualization rather than a broad, platform-agnostic production suite.
Its strongest area is the combination of tracking and compositing features. Jetset Free includes real-time camera tracking, real-time 3D rendering, and live compositing, while the wider feature set adds AI mattes, blue- and green-screen keyers, Gaussian splat rendering, and remote Zoom screen sharing with model loading. Jetset Cine extends the workflow to cinema cameras through lens calibration and a tracked iPhone. These capabilities give mobile crews a practical path from scene matching and camera movement to recorded production data.
Jetset also fits workflows that depend on established 3D and virtual-production tools. Integrations include Unreal Engine, Blender, USD, Autoshot, Aximmetry, Zoom, FreeD, and Lonet2, with Autoshot supporting exports to Unreal, Blender, and other USD-based post-production tools. The free plan makes the core workflow accessible, while Pro and Cine provide paths for more advanced production needs, including cinema-camera tracking. Choose Jetset for iOS/macOS mobile production, previz, and keying; teams centered on LED-stage workflows or broader desktop and cross-platform coverage should consider alternatives.
