What Lightcraft Jetset is
Lightcraft Jetset is an iOS app for creating visual-effects shots by combining CGI and live-action video. It displays and captures the combination in real time, using ARKit tracking to map a scene and align the live-action origin with a 3D scene. The app supports real-time rendering of production-level USDZ models and records camera-original footage, live composites and tracking metadata. Masking options include AI mattes, a green-screen keyer and 3D screen planes. Printed floor or vertical origin markers can reset tracking. Lightcraft describes post-production workflows involving Unreal, Blender and USD through its Autoshot application, and provides Autoshot downloads, a Blender add-on and a tool for converting animated skinned characters for Jetset. Scene scanning is limited to Jetset Pro and Jetset Cine and requires a LiDAR-equipped iPhone Pro or iPad Pro. The App Store listing requires iOS 18.0 or later and an A12 Bionic chip or later. Jetset has a free plan; Jetset Pro costs $20 a month, Cine Monthly costs $80 a month, and Cine Yearly costs $800 a year.
