macOS webcam filter is applied multiple times?

Hi!

I am trying out macOS Sonoma's webcamfilters, and I have a pipeline like this:

Camera -> XSplit VCam -> OBS -> Zoom

I can control the filters in the first step, Camera -> XSplit VCam, but filters are applied to the other stages also.

If I turn of portrait mode, it is still applied twice, XSplit VCam -> OBS and OBS -> Zoom, and for those steps there are no controls to turn it off.

Anyone else have seen this, or have an idea on how to turn of the extra filter steps?

Found a workaround... Connect camera directly to each app in the pipeline and turn off all features... Then set it all back to what you want to do (in my case I only want to toggle features for XSplit VCam and nothing else).

So I just stopped all apps, just started Zoom with the camera and turned off all features there, then I added OBS and let it have the camera and did the same, added xsplit and moved the camera to it, and now it behaves like I thought it would do.
