QUESTION
What are the differences between Capture One for macOS and Capture One for Windows?
ANSWER
1. Minor differences in the way the main menu is organized
Some examples are listed below:
| Menu item | macOS | Windows |
| Preferences |
Capture One -> Preferences |
Edit -> Preferences |
|
|
|
|
| License |
Capture One -> License |
Help -> License |
|
|
|
|
| Updates |
Capture One -> Check for Updates |
Help -> Check for Updates |
|
|
|
2. User Interface
- Auto Hide Mode for Browser
- Auto Hide Mode for Tools
- Dual Monitor - Large Browser workspace
- Layout in the Full Screen mode
On Mac, only the Viewer is visible in the Full Screen mode. On Windows, the Browser and tools will remain even after you enter the Full Screen mode.
3. Other
- Creating thumbnails on save in the Process Recipe tool
- Apple Script
- Gathering logs automatically with the built-in Get Logs script
NOTE: Both versions have a full set of functions and tools, though you might have noticed some minor extra features available in the Mac version and not present in the Windows version. We are striving to make sure that both versions have the same set of features, but that also highly depends on the options the operating system platform provides for implementing those features. Thus, sometimes the availability of the features might be a little out of sync.

Are there any issues between the previews being cross platform? I just started using a Mac with my PC and noticed that sessions that I'd viewed on the Mac have unreadable previews on the PC. I can regenerate the previews on the PC but not a great workflow. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
The windows version doesn’t support a Loupedeck Live or CT console like the macOS version. On Windows only keyboard shortcuts can be used, limiting the feature set drastically.
